If a rural region has a high birth rate but working-age adults are leaving in large numbers, what outcome is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Total population change may be lower than natural increase

Population change has two broad parts: natural increase and net migration. Natural increase is births minus deaths. Net migration is in-migration minus out-migration. Total change therefore equals natural increase plus net migration. A high birth rate may create a positive natural increase, but large out-migration subtracts people from the total.

If many working-age adults leave, the region’s actual population growth can be smaller than its natural increase. If migration losses are sufficiently large, total population could even remain unchanged or decline. Therefore, option A is correct. Out-migration does not increase population, and it does not make natural increase automatically zero.
