Under which condition can a country's population growth rate decline while its total population is still increasing?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the gap between births and deaths becomes smaller but remains positive

Population growth is determined by the balance between births and deaths, ignoring migration in this question. A country can have a smaller growth rate when the difference between births and deaths becomes smaller, yet the total population will still rise if births remain more numerous than deaths.

For example, if births previously exceeded deaths by a large amount and later exceed them by a smaller positive amount, each year still adds people, but at a slower pace. Therefore option A is correct. If births stop completely, or deaths remain higher than births, natural increase would not produce the stated result. A population also does not immediately become half merely because its growth rate declines.
