A country's total population is declining despite positive net migration. What can be inferred from this situation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Natural decrease is larger than positive migration

Total population change is the combined result of natural change and net migration. Positive net migration adds people to a country. If the total population nevertheless falls, another component must be negative enough to outweigh that gain. In this situation, the natural component must be a decrease, meaning deaths exceed births, and its size must be greater than the migration gain.

Therefore, natural decrease is larger than positive migration, so option A is correct. Positive migration does not prove that births exceed deaths; it only means more people entered than left. Since the total still declined, the negative natural change was stronger than the positive migration. The statement does not allow us to calculate exact numbers, but it does establish this comparison.
