If an area has more deaths than births but also very high immigration, what may happen to total population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Total population may still increase

Answer: A, total population may still increase. Population change has two broad parts: natural change and migration. Natural change is births minus deaths. In this case, deaths exceed births, so natural change is negative. However, total change also includes net migration, which is immigrants minus emigrants. If the number of immigrants is large enough to exceed the natural decrease, the total population will rise. If immigration only partly offsets the natural decrease, the population will fall more slowly; if it exactly balances it, the total may remain nearly unchanged. A is therefore the only careful answer because the question says “may.” B is wrong because a negative natural change does not make the population zero. C is wrong because immigration directly adds people. D is wrong because immigration does not automatically cause the birth rate to rise. Memory cue: total change = births − deaths + immigration − emigration.
