What effect can in-migration have on the population of an area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The population may increase

The direct answer is B: in-migration may increase the population of an area. In-migration means that people enter an area from another place and settle or stay there. These people are added to the receiving area’s population. For example, if a town has 10,000 residents and 500 people move into it, the population can rise to 10,500 if no other change is considered. Option A is wrong because a decrease is more directly associated with out-migration, although the final total can depend on births and deaths too. Option B is correct because incoming people add to the population. Option C is wrong because the entry of people is a population change, not an absence of change. Option D is wrong because migration changes the number of people, not the physical area of the land. Memory cue: in means inwards; in-migration brings people in and usually raises population.
