What is absolute population change?

• A. Actual number of people increase in population in a certain time period.
• B. Actual number of people decrease in population in a certain time period.
• C. Actual number of increase or decrease in the number of people in the population in a certain time period
• D. Actual number of deaths in a population in a year.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Actual number of increase or decrease in the number of people in the population in a certain time period

The absolute population change is the magnitude of the increase or decrease in population for a defined period. For example, if last year the population of a city was 3,000 and this year the population has changed to 5,000, then the absolute increase in population is 3,000.
