In which direction does death rate work in population change?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Toward reducing population
Death rate refers to the number of deaths occurring during a given period. Deaths reduce the total population, so the death rate works towards reducing population. In contrast, birth rate increases population, and in-migration can also add to it. Exam tip: link births and in-migration with population increase, and deaths and out-migration with population decrease.
