If birth rate is falling but death rate is falling faster, what can happen to population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth may still continue

Direct answer: A is correct. Population growth depends on the difference between the birth rate and the death rate, not on the direction of only one rate. Suppose the birth rate falls from 30 to 24 per thousand, while the death rate falls from 20 to 10 per thousand. Both rates fall, but births still exceed deaths by 14 per thousand, so natural increase continues. Migration could raise or lower the final actual growth, but continued growth is possible from the given information. B is wrong because falling rates do not make the population zero. C is wrong because growth remains related to the difference between births and deaths, as well as migration for actual growth. D is wrong because population can still be counted using records, surveys or censuses. Memory cue: compare the two rates, not just whether the birth rate is falling.
