Question

Explain the meaning of the following term:

Migratory growth of population

Answer 1

Migratory growth of population refers to the change in the size of a population due to the movement of people from one place to another.

It includes both:

• • Immigration: people coming into a region.
  • Emigration: people leaving a region.

Migratory Growth = Immigration − Emigration

Example:

If more people move into a city than leave it, the city experiences positive migratory growth. If more people leave than enter, it experiences negative migratory growth.
