A country's population is growing mainly because of heavy immigration while natural increase is nearly zero. Which characteristic of this growth is most important?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth is mainly migration-driven

Population change can result from natural increase or migration. Natural increase is births minus deaths. If births and deaths are nearly balanced, natural increase contributes very little to the total change. A large positive immigration balance can still make the population grow.

Here, natural increase is nearly zero, yet heavy immigration is reported and the population is growing. Therefore the main source of growth is migration, specifically net immigration. Option A is correct. Growth is not zero because immigration adds people even when births and deaths nearly balance.
