When birthrates are high and death rates are low the population of an area will increase.

Explanation

The population growth is determined by the differences in birth rate and death rate. The birth rate is the number of live births in a year for every 1000 women in the total population. The death rate is the number of deaths per 1000 live births. Both the factors determine the increase or decrease in population in the country. When the country experiences high birth rates and low death rates, the population growth rate will be high.
