Answer:

Increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the country is increases in the next 20 years because more number of children are born. As we can see the data, there are 498,251 people who will die in the next 20 years but at the same time about 2000000 people are born so less people are removed from the population while on the other hand, more number of people are added to the population which definitely increases the population of the country.
