If the population growth rate of an area has declined, why should policymakers still be careful?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the total population can still put pressure on services

Correct answer: A, because the total population can still put pressure on services. A growth rate tells us how quickly population is changing; it does not tell us that the existing population has disappeared. An area may already contain many people, so schools, hospitals, housing, water supply, transport, and jobs may continue to face heavy demand even after the rate of increase falls. Also, a lower rate can still mean that the population is increasing, only more slowly. Policymakers must therefore consider the present population size, its age structure, future births, migration, and available services. A is correct because existing demand does not vanish immediately when growth slows. B is wrong because a low rate is not the same as zero population. C is wrong because slower growth still requires careful planning. D is wrong because a lower growth rate does not mean the death rate will always be zero. Memory cue: slower growth means slower addition, not removal of existing people.
