A country has 1 percent natural increase and 1 percent net out-migration. What is the total growth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0 percent

Total population growth combines natural increase with net migration. Natural increase contributes plus 1 percent. Net out-migration means that more people leave than enter, so its contribution is negative 1 percent. The two effects must therefore be added with their signs: \(1+(-1)=0\) percent.

Thus the total growth rate is 0 percent, making option C correct. This means the total number of people can remain approximately stable during the period, even though many births, deaths, arrivals, and departures may still occur. A positive natural increase does not by itself guarantee total growth when an equal negative migration balance offsets it.
