If births and deaths are equal but in-migration is high, what will actual population growth be like?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Positive

Direct answer: B, actual growth will be positive. Natural increase is calculated as births minus deaths. Since births and deaths are equal, natural increase is zero. However, actual growth also includes migration. In-migration means people enter the area, so it adds to the population. Therefore, actual growth = zero natural increase + high in-migration, which is positive. A is wrong because no information shows that more people are leaving than entering. C is wrong because it ignores in-migration; the population does not remain unchanged when many people arrive. D is wrong because population change can be measured by counting births, deaths, arrivals, and departures. The important distinction is that natural increase concerns only births and deaths, while actual growth includes migration as well. Memory cue: equal births and deaths cancel each other; incoming people then create growth.
