Question

According to the 2011 Census, the population of city A increased even though its
death rate was higher than its birth rate. The population of village B decreased even
though its birth rate was higher than its death rate. Define the factor that could have caused this?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate of natural increase is the difference between birth and death rates. It measures the degree to which a population is growing. Since birth and death rates are measured as the number of births (or deaths) occurring per 1,000 population, the difference is divided by 10 to convert this rate into a percentage.

Explanation:

Unlike the death rate, the birth rate had not registered a sharp fall. This is because the birth rate is a socio-cultural phenomenon that is relatively slow to change. ... The death rate itself is a social phenomenon and must be explained at the social level.
