A country's birth rate and death rate are both declining, but the birth rate remains higher than the death rate. What will be the direction of natural population change?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Natural increase will remain positive

Natural population change is determined by the difference between births and deaths, not by whether both rates are rising or falling. If the birth rate remains higher than the death rate, more people are born than die. Natural increase therefore remains positive, although the amount of increase may become smaller if the gap narrows.

Option A is correct. A decline in both rates does not automatically produce a negative change. Migration could alter the total population, but it is not needed to determine the direction of natural change asked here. Option B reverses the meaning of the rate difference, option C assumes stabilization without evidence, and option D confuses natural change with total change including migration.
