Neco Model Questions Vol1 2023 Economics Question 33
Practice objective / multiple choice question 33 from the 2023 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Economics examination.
The population of Country Y was 8 million in 2010. Between 2010 and 2015 the average annual natural increase (births minus deaths) was 2.5% and net migration added 0.4% per year. From 2015 onward a family‑planning policy reduced the natural increase to 1.5% per year, while net migration stayed at 0.4% per year. Assuming the rates compound annually, calculate the population in 2020. Then determine the percentage by which the population that would have resulted in 2020 if the original 2.5% natural increase had continued (with the same 0.4% migration) exceeds the actual 2020 population. Give your answer as a percentage to one decimal place.
