Answer 1

Answer: -7.55%

Step-by-step explanation:

Population growth rate(PGR) =(crude Birth Rate + immigration)-(crude death rate+emigration)

PGR=(1.43%+4.15%)-(0.43%+12.7%)

= 5.58%-13.13%

= -7.55%

∴ This means that the population is decreasing at a rate of 7.55% per year due to a combination of deaths and emigration exceeding births and immigrations.
