If a country's birth rate gradually declines while its death rate is already low, what is the general trend in population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth will slow

Natural population growth is the difference between births and deaths. If the death rate is already low and the birth rate gradually declines, births still may exceed deaths, but the gap between them becomes smaller. Consequently, the population may continue to increase while growing more slowly. The correct choice is A, “Growth will slow.” This conclusion concerns the general trend, not an immediate fall to zero.

For example, if births are initially 25 per 1,000 people and deaths are 5, natural increase is 20 per 1,000. If births later fall to 15 while deaths remain 5, the increase becomes 10 per 1,000. Growth remains positive in this example, but its speed is lower. Migration can alter total population change, yet it does not change the basic conclusion about natural growth from births and deaths.
