If a country has a high birth rate but an almost equally high death rate, what may its actual natural increase be like?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Low or moderate

Natural increase is determined by the difference between the birth rate and the death rate. A high birth rate alone does not guarantee rapid growth. If the death rate is also high and nearly equal to the birth rate, the difference between them is small. Consequently, the natural increase may be low or moderate, even though both rates individually are high.

For example, if the birth rate is 40 per thousand and the death rate is 38 per thousand, the natural increase is only 2 per thousand. It is not necessarily extremely high, and it is not always negative. Therefore option A is correct. The supplied explanation correctly focuses on the gap between the two rates rather than on the birth rate alone.
