If a country's death rate exceeds its birth rate by 3 per thousand but net migration is positive 5 per thousand, what will the total growth rate be like?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Positive 2 per thousand

Natural increase is the difference between the birth rate and the death rate. If deaths exceed births by 3 per thousand, the natural increase is \(-3\) per thousand. Net migration is positive 5 per thousand, meaning that immigration exceeds emigration by 5 per thousand. Total population change combines both components: \(-3+5=+2\) per thousand.

Therefore, option C is correct: the total growth rate is positive 2 per thousand. The positive migration more than compensates for the natural decrease. Option B would ignore the migration contribution, while A incorrectly adds the magnitudes of two effects that act in opposite directions. Zero would occur only if positive migration exactly balanced a natural decrease of 5 per thousand. The supplied answer and calculation are correct.
