In demographics, the rate of natural increase (RNI) is the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate of a population. When looking at countries, it gives an idea of what position in the Demographic Transition Model, but to find out how much a country is growing, the population growth rate should be observed. Usually developing countries have a positive or high natural increase rate. Developed countries have a negative/neutral or low natural increase rate,〔(Human Population Growth – Kimball's Biology Pages )〕 but many developed countries have their population increasing due to immigration despite their negative RNI. The formula for the rate of natural increase is: : (Crude birth rate − Crude death rate) / 10, where birth and death rates are in per thousand. The result is the rate of natural increase in percentage form. For example, Madagascar's crude birth rate (37.89) minus the crude death rate (7.97) is 29.92; divide that by 10 and the result is 2.992%, Madagascar's rate of natural increase. ==See also== * List of countries by natural increase 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rate of natural increase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
