If a country has a population of 48 million and a natural increase rate of -4 per thousand, what is the natural change in one year?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Decrease of 192000

A natural increase rate of negative 4 per thousand means that, for every 1000 people, natural causes produce a loss of 4 people during the year. Natural change considers births minus deaths only; migration is not included unless separately provided.

Convert the rate to a fraction and multiply: \(48000000\times(-4\div1000)=-192000\). The negative sign indicates a decrease, so the natural change is a decrease of 192000 people. Hence option C is correct. The result is not 480000, because the rate is per thousand, not per hundred, and it is not a migration-adjusted total.
