What is the main difference between natural increase and actual population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Natural increase uses births and deaths while actual growth also includes migration

Natural increase measures the difference between births and deaths. It does not include people entering or leaving through migration. Actual population growth, often called total or real change, includes this natural balance as well as net migration, which is immigration minus emigration.

In symbolic form, natural increase is births minus deaths, while actual growth is births minus deaths plus net migration. A region may have positive natural increase but still lose population if many more people leave than enter. Conversely, migration can make actual growth positive even when births and deaths are nearly equal or natural increase is low. Therefore option C is correct. Options A, B, and D confuse the two measures or incorrectly claim they are always identical.
