A country's population growth rate falls from 3 percent to 1 percent, but total population is still increasing. Which statement is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The pace of growth has become slower

The growth rate has changed from 3 percent to 1 percent, so the speed of increase has become lower. However, 1 percent is still a positive rate. This means that the population continues to grow, although fewer people are added proportionally than before. Therefore, choice B is correct. A population would be declining only if the relevant net growth rate became negative.

Suppose the population base were 100 million. At 3 percent, about 3 million people would be added; at 1 percent, about 1 million would be added. The second increase is smaller, but it is still an increase. The statement gives no information proving that density fell, because density also depends on area. It also does not mean growth has ended or that the population is declining.
