Formula: Population growth rate (p) = natural population growth rate + net migration rate
= (Birth rate – Death rate) + (Immigration rate – Emigration rate)
Country Birth rate Death rate Immigration Emigration Population Doubling time Which year it
(2019) (2019) rate (2019) rate (2019) growth rate (p) (in years) will be
doubled?
