If a country has zero natural increase but total population growth is 1.1 percent, where is that growth coming from?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Positive net migration

Natural increase measures the effect of births and deaths only. If it is zero, births and deaths balance each other, so they do not change the population overall. Any remaining change in the total population must therefore come from migration. A positive total growth requires positive net migration, meaning arrivals exceed departures.

The total growth is 1.1 percent and natural increase is 0. Using total growth = natural increase + net migration gives \(1.1=0+\text{net migration}\). Thus net migration is positive 1.1 percent. The correct source is positive net migration, not excess deaths or the birth-death difference, because both are already represented by natural increase. Option A is correct.
