Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net population increase due to birth and death rates is calculated as follows: Births = 155 million * (15.7/1000) = 2.4335 million. Deaths = 155 million * (11.1/1000) = 1.7205 million. Net increase due to births and deaths = 2.4335 million - 1.7205 million = 0.713 million. The actual population increase is 1.06 million, so the net immigration is 1.06 million - 0.713 million = 0.347 million or 347,000.
