Rate of natural increase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Demography, the rate of natural increase (RNI), also known as natural population change, is defined as the birth rate minus the death rate of a particular population, over a particular time period.[1] It is typically expressed either as a number per 1,000 individuals in the population[2] or as a percentage.[3] RNI can be either positive or negative. It contrasts to total population change by ignoring net migration.

This RNI gives demographers an insight into how a region's population is evolving, and these analyses can inform government attempts to shape RNI.
