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

The growth rate of this country is 0.1%.

Step-by-step 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}=\frac{\text{(CBR+ immigration) - (CDR+emigration)}}{10}\%`

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

`\text{Growth rate}=(12-11)/(10)\%`

`\text{Growth rate}=(1)/(10)\%`

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

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