Question

A country has a net immigration rate of 3 per 1,000, a CBR of 9 per 1,000, and a CDR of 11 per 1,000. What is the growth rate of this country?

Answer 1

Answer:

The growth rate of this country is 0.1%.

Explanation:

Given information:

Immigration rate = 3 per 1,000

Crude birth rate, CBR = 9 per 1,000

Crude death rate, CDR = 11 per 1,000

Formula for growth rate of a country:

$\text{Growth rate}=\dfrac{\text{(CBR+ immigration) - (CDR+emigration)}}{10}\%$

$\text{Growth rate}=\dfrac{(9+3)-(11-0)}{10}\%$

$\text{Growth rate}=\dfrac{12-11}{10}\%$

$\text{Growth rate}=\dfrac{1}{10}\%$

$\text{Growth rate}=0.1\%$

Therefore, the growth rate of this country is 0.1%.
