If deaths exceed births and out-migration also exceeds in-migration, what is likely to happen?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Total population will decline

Total population change has two relevant components here: natural change and net migration. Natural change is births minus deaths. Net migration is in-migration minus out-migration. If deaths exceed births, the first component is negative; if more people leave than enter, the second component is also negative. Both reduce the total population.

Because both effects act in the same direction, total population will decline, assuming the stated differences are genuine and no omitted component reverses them. Natural increase is not positive when deaths are higher than births. Therefore, option A is correct. The word “necessarily” makes the stability statement wrong because neither component is balanced.
