the chart shown above, Canada has a low birth rate of 10 per 1000 people and a low death rate of 8 per 1000 people in the year of 2014. Even after 25 years, the countries population rates stay fairly low, which will maintain the stable population. A birth rate and death rate being low will automatically result in a stable population and natural increase just like Canada has.…
