In a country, the death rate falls rapidly first and the birth rate declines only several years later. What type of population growth is expected during the interval?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: High natural increase

During this interval, mortality falls before fertility falls. That means fewer people are dying, while births remain high for several years. The difference between births and deaths therefore becomes large and positive. This difference is called natural increase, so population growth from natural causes is expected to be high. Migration is not needed to explain this stage.

Option A is correct: high natural increase. The situation does not imply negative or zero growth, because births still exceed deaths. It is also not migration-only growth, since the question describes a strong natural difference. This pattern is commonly associated with an early or expanding phase of demographic transition, although the exact size of growth depends on the actual birth and death rates.
