When can population growth data mislead policy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the time period and geographical boundary are not clear

The direct answer is A: data can mislead policy when the time period and geographical boundary are unclear. Population growth must be compared using a defined period, such as five or ten years, because a short-term change and a long-term change may tell different stories. The area must also be identified clearly: a village, city, district, state and country can have different growth patterns. Without these details, planners may compare unlike figures and direct money or services toward the wrong problem. Option B is not automatically misleading; official census data are useful when their definitions and coverage are understood. Option C is generally helpful because migration is an important component of change. Option D improves interpretation. Memory cue: before using growth data, ask “how long and where?”
