If the gap between a country's birth rate and death rate keeps narrowing, what will happen if other factors remain unchanged?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Natural increase will slow

Natural increase is determined by the difference between the birth rate and the death rate. If this gap becomes smaller, the number or rate of people added through births beyond deaths also becomes smaller. Therefore, assuming migration and other factors do not change, the natural increase will slow down.

For example, a fall in the gap from 2 percent to 1 percent means that the population is being added naturally at a lower rate. This does not necessarily mean that the population immediately decreases; it means its natural growth becomes slower. Hence option A is correct. The population cannot be said to double immediately, and the narrowing gap clearly does affect natural increase.
