If a country's total growth rate is negative even though its birth rate is still higher than its death rate, which component best explains the situation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Very large negative net migration

Natural increase is calculated as birth rate minus death rate. Since the birth rate is higher than the death rate, natural increase is positive. Total population growth also includes net migration. Therefore, for total growth to be negative despite positive natural increase, net migration must be sufficiently negative to outweigh that natural increase.

A large negative net migration means more people leave the country than enter it. This can make the total growth rate negative even while births exceed deaths. Hence option A is correct. Positive net migration would increase total growth, and a zero birth rate contradicts the information. Natural increase itself is not negative because the birth rate is higher than the death rate.
