In this Class 9 Geography topic from the chapter Population, students learn how a population changes over time through the three basic processes of births, deaths and migration. They explore natural increase, birth and death rates, and how migration affects the size, distribution and composition of population. The topic also helps students connect these processes with factors such as health, living conditions, employment and social change, building a clearer understanding of population trends in India and beyond.

Population change occurs through births deaths and migration. Exam tip: remember these three processes together.
View question detailsBirths add new people to the population. Exam tip: understand births as an adding process.
View question detailsDeaths reduce the number of people living in an area, so they decrease population. Births increase population, whereas deaths reduce it; death itself does not increase migration. Exam tip: births and immigration increase population, while deaths and emigration decrease it.
View question detailsIn-migration is the movement of people into an area to live there. Therefore, option B is correct. Moving out of an area is called out-migration, not in-migration. Exam tip: remember that ‘in’ means coming into a place, while ‘out’ means leaving it.
View question detailsOut migration means people leaving their current area to live in another area. Therefore, people moving out of an area is the correct answer. In contrast, people moving into an area is called in-migration. Exam tip: link “moving out” with out migration.
View question detailsNatural increase is understood from the difference between births and deaths. Exam tip: keep it separate from migration.
View question detailsWhen births exceed deaths natural increase is positive. Exam tip: link more births with growth.
View question detailsWhen deaths are higher natural change can be negative. Exam tip: connect more deaths with decrease.
View question detailsIn migration brings people from outside into an area. Exam tip: connect in migration with local population increase.
View question detailsOut migration makes people leave an area and local population can decline. Exam tip: connect out migration with decrease.
View question detailsBirth rate shows the situation of births in a period. Exam tip: connect birth rate with population growth.
View question detailsDeath rate is the number of deaths per 1,000 people in a population during a year. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B refers to birth rate, while options C and D describe types of migration. Exam tip: remember death rate as “deaths per 1,000 population.”
View question detailsNet migration is the difference between in migration and out migration. Exam tip: include it in total population change.
View question detailsNet migration is positive when entrants are more. Exam tip: link positive migration with population increase.
View question detailsNet migration is negative when leavers are more. Exam tip: link negative migration with local decline.
View question detailsNet migration is calculated by subtracting the number of people leaving an area from the number entering it: \(50-30=20\). Therefore, the net migration is 20, meaning migration increases the area’s population by 20 people. \(-20\) would apply if 20 more people left than entered. Exam tip: remember, net migration = in-migration − out-migration.
View question detailsLeavers are 30 more than entrants so net migration is negative. Exam tip: understand decline when out migration is higher.
View question detailsTotal change includes the effects of births deaths and migration. Exam tip: see all components together.
View question detailsPopulation change includes births deaths and net migration. Exam tip: understand each part of the formula.
View question detailsNatural increase is calculated by subtracting the number of deaths from the number of births: \(200-150=50\). Therefore, the natural increase is 50. Option 150 is only the number of deaths, not the natural increase. Exam tip: remember, natural increase = births − deaths.
