When many people move out of an area, what can happen to its population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population may decrease

Direct answer: A, the population may decrease. Out-migration means people leave an area to live elsewhere. Each person who leaves is no longer counted among the residents of the original area. Therefore, if many people move out and the number entering is not large enough to balance them, the local population can fall. Option A is correct because it states a possible result and allows for other factors such as births, deaths and inward migration. Option B is wrong because population will not always increase when people are leaving; an increase would require enough births or arrivals to offset the departures. Option C is wrong because migration does not make the death rate zero. Option D is wrong because people leaving does not make the birth rate infinite. Memory cue: out-migration takes people out of the area.
