When is absolute population growth more useful than growth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the actual number of people added is required

Absolute population growth means the actual numerical change in population during a period. It answers the question, “How many people were added or lost?” A growth rate gives a percentage or relative comparison, which is useful for comparing places of different sizes, but it does not by itself show the exact number needing services.

Therefore option A is correct. For planning houses, schools, hospitals, water supply, transport, or jobs, authorities need the actual number of additional people. For example, a small country may have a high percentage growth but add fewer people than a large country with a lower rate. The absolute increase is therefore more useful when the practical number of people must be estimated.
