Question

Canada has birth rate 10.2 (per 1000), death rate 7.7 (per 1000), and migration rate 5.6 (per 1000). Calculate the PGR (pop. growth rate) for Canada

Answer 1

The Population Growth Rate of Canada will be 8.1 (per 1000)

Step-by-step explanation:

If Canada as a birth rate of 10.2 and date rate of 7.7 and migration rate of 5.6, all per 1000, in a given period of time.

The population growth rate will be Birth rate plus Migration rate minus death rate

PGR = BR + MR - DR

= 10.2 + 5.6 - 7.7

= 15.8 - 7.7

= 8.1
