Which of the following is unrelated to the components of population change?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Employment.
In demography, population change is determined by three specific components: Births, Deaths, and Migration. The formula for population change is often expressed as:
Population Change = (Births - Deaths) + Net Migration
Employment is a socio-economic indicator rather than a direct component of demographic change. While employment opportunities can influence migration patterns, it does not directly add or subtract individuals from the total population count in the way biological processes (births/deaths) or physical movement (migration) do.
