Net migration rate

When more emigrate from a country, the result is a negative net migration rate, meaning that more people are leaving than entering the area.

The net migration rate is calculated over a one-year period using the mid year population[2] and a ratio.

On the other hand, if few people are coming in and many more are leaving, there is a higher possibility of violence, lower economic opportunities, or not enough resources to support the existing population in the country.

Third, substitute the result from step 2 into the formula to find the net migration rate for country A.

In contrast, a country with a low rate is seen as undeveloped, having political problems, and lacking resources its citizens need.

[citation needed] On the other hand, a country with a lower migration rate will most likely lose many of its available resources due to a lack of consumerism and production.

[citation needed] Conflicts can arise due to migration, but people can still find it easier than ever to move to a different place.

[7] Other occurring problems caused by net migration is a rise in the dependency ratio, higher demand on government resources, and public congestion.

This results in a decrease in the labor force, which can hurt a country's economy by causing it to slow down.
