What does Natural Increase Rate (NIR) mean?

• People are born and people die in every country. The Natural Increase Rate tells us how many more people are being born than are dying. Or it can tell us that more people are dying than are being born in a county.

• CBR - CDR = NIR

• Positive NIR means the population is growing. Negative NIR means the population is getting smaller.

• NIR also tells us about how developed or developing a country is. That comes next week!!!!
