If a country has a birth rate of 9 per thousand, a death rate of 12 per thousand and zero total growth, what is the net migration rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Positive 3 per thousand

Correct answer: B, positive 3 per thousand. Natural increase equals births minus deaths: 9 − 12 = −3 per thousand. This means the population would lose 3 people per thousand through natural change. Because total growth is zero, positive net migration must replace exactly those 3 people per thousand. The equation is total growth = natural increase + net migration, so 0 = −3 + net migration; therefore net migration = +3 per thousand. A is wrong because negative migration would add to the decline and make total growth −6 per thousand. C is wrong because 21 per thousand incorrectly adds the birth and death rates instead of finding their difference. D is wrong because zero migration would leave the natural decrease uncompensated. Memory cue: when natural change is −3 and total change must be 0, migration must be +3.
