The population growth or population change refers to the change in number of inhabitants of a territory during a specific period of time. This change may be positive as well as negative. It can be expressed either in terms of absolute numbers or in terms of percentage. Population change in an area is an important indicator of economic development, social upliftment and historical and cultural background of the region.

Which of the following along with high birth rate and low death rate will lead to positive growth rate of population ?

In Migration

The correct answer is option 1: In Migration

Option 1: “In Migration”. This statement is correct because when people move into an area, the population of that area increases. Along with high birth rate and low death rate, in-migration leads to positive population growth.

Option 2: “Out Migration”. This statement is incorrect because out-migration decreases the population of an area.

Option 3: “Migration”. This statement is not fully correct because migration can be both in-migration and out-migration. Only in-migration increases population growth.
