A country's total population is increasing while the number of births is gradually falling. What may this mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth continues but may be slowing

The total population changes according to births, deaths, and migration. A falling number of births does not necessarily mean that births are already fewer than deaths plus net out-migration. If the overall balance is still positive, the population can continue increasing, although usually at a slower pace.

Thus option A is the best interpretation: growth continues but may be slowing. The data do not prove that the population is declining, because deaths and migration are not fully specified. They also do not show that deaths have stopped or that migration is zero. More information would be needed to measure the exact growth rate.
