How do deaths affect population change?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: By decreasing the number of people in the population
Each death reduces the number of people living in a population, so deaths are a decreasing factor in population change. In contrast, births and in-migration can increase population; they are not effects of deaths. Exam tip: add births and in-migration, but subtract deaths and out-migration when considering population change.
