Both negative growth rate and positive growth rate are indicators of change in a population or economy over time. They reflect the dynamics of change, with negative growth indicating a decrease in size or value, while positive growth indicates an increase. Both metrics are essential for understanding trends and making informed decisions in fields like economics, ecology, and Demographics. Ultimately, they provide insights into the health and sustainability of a system.

Negative means people are leaving. Zero means that people are coming and going in equal amounts.
Yes, in a mathematical sense a growth rate is defined as a rate of increase in a series over time. Thus if the series is declining over time, or for a period, the growth rate is negative. In a semantic sense, it is probably better to refer to 'contraction' rather than 'negative growth', but it is not incorrect to use the latter terminology.
A negative population growth exists
Much of Europe
True. But it cannot be "fales", anyway since they is no such word ;D
As of 2021, countries with negative growth rates include Venezuela, Syria, and Zimbabwe. These countries are experiencing economic challenges, political instability, and social unrest that have contributed to their negative growth rates.
Actually, a population has a negative growth rate when the death rate exceeds the birth rate. This means that more individuals are dying than being born, resulting in a decline in population size over time.
The population growth has been negative within the past 20 years.
If the population growth rate becomes zero the population size becomes static. It stays where it was when it became zero until the rate changes. If the rate becomes negative the population would begin to shrink.
Some countries in Eastern Europe with a negative rate of natural population growth include Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, and Ukraine. This negative trend is often due to factors like lower birth rates, aging populations, and emigration.
