Under which condition will natural population growth be negative?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Deaths exceed births

Natural growth considers only births and deaths, not migration. It is calculated as births minus deaths. When the number of deaths is greater than the number of births, this difference is below zero, so natural growth is negative. Therefore, the correct choice is D, “Deaths exceed births.”

For instance, if a population records 8,000 births and 10,000 deaths during a year, natural growth is \(8000-10000=-2000\). The population loses 2,000 people through natural change. In-migration could still make the total population rise, but it would not make natural growth positive because migration is excluded from that measure. Equal births and deaths produce zero natural growth, while births exceeding deaths produce positive natural growth.
