A country has very high natural increase but almost zero net migration. What will mainly determine its total population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The difference between births and deaths

Natural increase is the difference between births and deaths. Total population change also includes net migration, but when net migration is nearly zero, migration adds almost nothing to the overall change. In that situation, the main source of growth is the balance between births and deaths within the country.

The relevant relation is total change = births − deaths + in-migration − out-migration. Since in-migration and out-migration are nearly equal, their difference is approximately zero. Therefore total growth is approximately births minus deaths, which is natural increase. Option A is correct. Area and density may describe population distribution, but neither determines the annual change as directly as the birth–death difference in this situation.
