In which situation can natural increase be negative but total growth be positive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When in migration exceeds natural decrease

The correct answer is A. Natural increase is calculated from births minus deaths. If deaths are greater than births, natural increase is negative. Total population growth, however, also includes migration. In simple terms, total change equals natural increase plus net migration, where net migration is in-migration minus out-migration. For example, if natural increase is −10,000 but net in-migration is +15,000, total growth is +5,000. Thus, the number of people entering can more than offset the natural decrease. B is wrong because high out-migration would reduce total population further. C is wrong because without in-migration there is no inflow to offset the natural decrease. D is wrong because high deaths and out-migration both push the population downward. Memory cue: births minus deaths explain natural increase; arrivals minus departures can change total growth.
