If natural increase is positive in an area but emigration is very high, what can happen to total population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Total growth can be low or negative

The correct answer is A: total growth can be low or negative. Natural increase is births minus deaths. If births are greater than deaths, natural increase is positive. However, total population change also includes migration. Emigration means people leave the area, so it reduces the population; it is negative net migration when out-migration is greater than in-migration. If the number leaving is nearly equal to or greater than the natural increase, total growth may become very small or even negative. Option A correctly includes both possibilities. Option B is wrong because positive natural increase does not guarantee rapid total growth. Option C is wrong because migration directly changes population size. Option D is wrong because positive natural increase does not mean the birth rate is zero. Cue: total growth depends on natural increase plus net migration.
