Natural population growth

High natural population growth may indicate a young nation and high birth rates, while low or negative indicators indicate aging citizens and a possible reduction in labor resources in the future. The ranking of countries by natural population growth reflects the difference between the birth rate and mortality per 1,000 people in each country. This indicator is important for understanding demographic trends that directly affect the economic development of the state.

The growth rates are also influenced by the level of health care, economic well-being, and migration processes.
