Apopulation with a higher death rate than birth rate may still have positive growth. this statement is

True

Explanation:

means the number of people from an other area coming to another area whose population is under study. For example: We are talking about a country Antarctica where population  has a higher death rate than birth rate. However, every year millions immigrants come there to spend the life. therefore, even if death rate is higher than birth rate, the overall growth of the population can be positive.Emigration means the number of people leaving an area of whose population is studied. So if emigration rate of such a population is very low and immigration rate is very high, then  even if death rate is higher than birth rate, the overall growth of the population can be positive.
