A country has natural growth of -1 percent but net migration of +1.6 percent. What is the total growth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: +0.6 percent

Total population growth is the sum of natural growth and net migration. Natural growth is already −1%, meaning births and deaths together cause a one-percent decline. Net migration is +1.6%, meaning immigration exceeds emigration by 1.6% of the population.

Add the rates with their signs: −1% + 1.6% = +0.6%. Thus migration more than compensates for the natural decline, and the total population grows by 0.6%. Therefore option C is correct. The negative sign must remain attached to natural growth, but the larger positive migration rate makes the final result positive.
