A country's birth rate is falling and net migration has also become negative while the death rate remains stable. What is the most likely effect on total population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth rate will face downward pressure from both factors

Total population growth is influenced by natural increase and net migration. Natural increase equals births minus deaths. If the birth rate falls while the death rate stays stable, the gap between births and deaths becomes smaller, so natural increase tends to decline. At the same time, negative net migration means more people leave than enter, which further reduces total population growth. Therefore, choice B is correct.

The relationship can be written as \(\text{total change}=\text{births}-\text{deaths}+\text{net migration}\). A falling birth rate lowers the first part, while a negative migration value lowers the total again. The exact final rate cannot be calculated without more figures, so the answer should describe downward pressure rather than claim certain decline. Choices A and C ignore one or both effects, and D reverses the natural-increase effect.
