In which situation can a city's population grow fast even when natural increase is low?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When urban in-migration is very high

The direct answer is A: a city can grow quickly when many people move into it, even if births exceed deaths by only a small amount. Population change has two major parts: natural increase and migration. Natural increase equals births minus deaths. Net migration equals in-migrants minus out-migrants. Total population growth depends on both parts. Thus, a large positive flow of people into the city can more than compensate for a low natural increase. Option B is wrong because heavy out-migration removes people and usually slows growth. Option C is wrong because zero births and zero in-migration cannot create rapid growth. Option D is wrong because absence of employment generally reduces the attraction of a city, although other factors can sometimes influence movement. Memory cue: total growth = natural increase + net migration; always check both terms.
