Question:

The population increase by difference between births and death in a particular region between two points of time is referred to as _________.

Options:

Actual Growth of Population

Natural Growth of Population

Ageing of population growth

Negative Growth of Population

Correct Answer:

Natural Growth of Population

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Natural Growth of Population

  • Natural Growth of Population: This is the population increased by difference between births and deaths in a particular region between two points of time.
  • The natural growth rate is calculated as the difference between the birth rate and the death rate ( Births – Deaths), typically expressed as a percentage.
  • If the birth rate is higher than the death rate, the population experiences natural growth, and the natural increase is positive. Conversely, if the death rate is higher than the birth rate, the population experiences natural decline, and the natural increase is negative.
