If a country's birth rate is 28 per thousand and death rate is 25 per thousand, why is natural increase limited despite the high birth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The gap between the two rates is only 3 per thousand

Natural increase depends on the difference between the birth rate and the death rate, not on the birth rate alone. The birth rate is 28 per thousand and the death rate is 25 per thousand. Both rates are relatively high, but they are close to each other.

Their difference is \(28-25=3\) per thousand. Thus, the natural increase is only 3 per thousand, or 0.3 percent, assuming the rates refer to the same population and period. Option A correctly identifies the small gap as the reason for limited natural increase. The other choices either deny the role of birth rate, confuse death with migration, or make an unjustified absolute claim.
