Question

A population has a birthrate of 10/1000 , a death rate of 9/1000, an immigration rate of 3/1000, and an emigration rate of 7/1000. What is the populations growth ?

Answer 1

Birth rate 10/1000 = +population

Death rate 9/1000 = -population

Immigration rate 3/1000 = +population

Emigration rate 7/1000 = -population

10/1000 - 9/1000 + 3/1000 - 7/1000= -3/1000

Growth rate = (-3/1000)(100%)= -0.3%
