If deaths exceed births in a country but large numbers of migrants are entering, what can happen to total population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It can remain stable or grow if migration is large enough

Correct answer: B. Population change has two major components: natural increase and net migration. Natural increase equals births minus deaths. If deaths exceed births, natural increase is negative. However, people entering the country create positive net migration. If immigration is equal to the natural decrease, total population remains stable; if immigration is greater, total population grows. A is wrong because it ignores the effect of immigration. C is wrong because migration directly adds or removes people from the population. D is wrong because migration does not automatically make the birth rate rise; birth-rate changes depend on reproductive behaviour and other social conditions. For example, a natural decrease of 100,000 combined with immigration of 100,000 gives no total change, while immigration of 150,000 produces a net increase of 50,000. Memory cue: total change = births − deaths + net migration.
