If a population has 500 individuals in it in 2010, and the per capita birth rate is 0.3 and the per capita death rate is 0.2, is the population growing or shrinking?

Respuesta :

The population is growing as the births are more than deaths in an year.

What is Population Growth?

Increases in a population's or a dispersed group's membership are referred to as population growth.

Given:

  • Total population = 500
  • Per capita birth rate = 0.3
  • Per capita death rate = 0.2

To find: Is population growing or shrinking?

Finding:

  • Number of new-borns in an year = total population (per capita birth rate) = 500(0.3) = 150
  • Number of deaths in an year = total population (per capita death rate) = 500(0.2) = 100
  • Difference in the number of births and deaths = 150 - 100 = 50

Hence the population is growing as the births are more than deaths in an year.
