If a country's natural increase rate is zero but its net migration rate is positive, what can be said about the total growth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It can be positive

Natural increase is the difference between births and deaths. If its rate is zero, births and deaths have approximately equal effects. Net migration is the difference between people entering and people leaving. A positive net migration rate means more people enter than leave. These incoming people add to the population even though natural increase is zero.

Therefore, option B is correct: the total growth rate can be positive. In a simple rate relationship, total population growth is approximately natural increase plus net migration. With natural increase equal to zero and net migration positive, the combined rate is positive, assuming the rates use compatible definitions and periods. It is not necessarily negative or zero, and migration clearly contributes to total population change.
