Why may population growth initially rise when health facilities improve in a country?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because death rate falls but birth rate does not fall immediately

Answer: A. Improved health facilities often reduce deaths, particularly deaths from preventable diseases and deaths among vulnerable groups. However, birth rates usually respond more slowly because they are also influenced by education, age at marriage, family planning, income, gender relations, and social attitudes. During this time lag, births remain relatively high while deaths fall, so natural increase becomes larger and population growth may initially rise. B would describe migration, not the demographic effect of better health. C changes the area, not the birth-death balance. D would reduce growth, and it is not a realistic immediate result of better health care. Common warning: lower mortality does not automatically mean an immediate lower fertility rate.
