A country records 900000 births and 600000 deaths. What is the natural increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 300000

Natural increase is the number of births minus the number of deaths during the same period. It measures change caused by natural demographic processes and does not include migration. Here there are 900,000 births and 600,000 deaths. Subtracting deaths from births gives \(900,000 - 600,000 = 300,000\).

Therefore, option B is correct. The answer is positive because births exceed deaths by 300,000. The value 1,500,000 is the sum of births and deaths, which counts demographic events but does not measure the population increase. The figures 200,000 and 600,000 do not represent the required difference. If migration were given, it would be used separately to calculate total population change.
