A country has a total growth rate of 1 percent but a natural increase rate of 1.4 percent. What does this indicate about net migration?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: About -0.4 percent

Total population growth is the sum of natural increase and net migration. Natural increase measures the difference between births and deaths, while net migration measures arrivals minus departures. Therefore net migration rate equals total growth rate minus natural increase rate. Here it is \(1-1.4=-0.4\) percent. The negative sign means departures exceeded arrivals, so option A is correct.

Natural increase alone would have raised the population by 1.4 percent, but the actual total increase was only 1 percent. The difference of 0.4 percentage points must therefore come from net out-migration. A positive migration rate would have made total growth greater than 1.4 percent, not smaller. Thus the indication is approximately negative 0.4 percent.
