A country has a birth rate of 14 per thousand, a death rate of 9 per thousand and a net migration rate of negative 5 per thousand. What is the total growth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Zero

Natural increase is found by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate. Total growth then includes net migration. Because the migration rate is negative, it must be added as a negative quantity. Rates are both expressed per thousand, so no unit conversion is needed.

Natural increase is \(14-9=5\) per thousand. Adding net migration gives \(5+(-5)=0\) per thousand. Thus the number of births and in-migration together balances deaths and out-migration, producing no net population change. Option B is correct. A positive 5 per thousand would ignore migration, while a negative 5 per thousand would ignore natural increase.
