Need help in understanding how to calculate population rates!!?

Question

If I have the birth rate, immigration rate, death rate and emmigration rate (and I have a time span of 15 years)- how do I calculate them to come up with population growth?

Answer 1

= (Birth rate - Death rate) + (Total Immigrants - Total Emmigrants) = Population. Do this year by year. You should then be able to use previous year to calculate % change or set a base year (e.g. 1990 = 100%) and then show year by year comparison. You should then be able to calculate the mean % change. Should also be able to calculate a trend line formula.
