If natural increase is positive but net migration is more negative than it, what will total population change be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Total population may decline

Direct answer: A is correct. Total population change is calculated as natural increase plus net migration. Natural increase is births minus deaths. Suppose natural increase is +500, but net migration is −800. The total change is +500 + (−800) = −300, so the population declines by 300. The word “more negative” is important: the loss caused by outward migration is larger than the gain from natural increase. B is wrong because natural increase alone does not decide the total. C is wrong because stability would require the positive and negative components to cancel exactly. D is wrong because migration is explicitly part of total change. Memory cue: keep the signs: positive adds, negative subtracts.
