A country's total growth rate is 1.4 percent and its natural increase rate is 2.1 percent. What is the net migration rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: -0.7 percent

Total population growth can be separated into natural increase and net migration. In rate form, the relationship is \(\text{total growth rate}=\text{natural increase rate}+\text{net migration rate}\). Therefore, to find net migration, subtract the natural increase rate from the total growth rate.

Here, \(\text{net migration rate}=1.4-2.1=-0.7\) percent. The negative sign is essential: it means more people are leaving the country than entering it, or that out-migration exceeds in-migration by 0.7 percentage points. Hence option B is correct. A positive value would mean net in-migration, which is not supported by these figures.
