Indonesia · Natural Increase · births minus deaths per 1,000

## What this measures

Births minus deaths per 1,000 people in Indonesia, a Palanor calculation from the World Bank's crude birth and death rates.

## Why it matters

Natural increase is population growth before migration: the core measure of where a country sits in the demographic transition.

## How to read it

Positive means births outnumber deaths; below zero the population shrinks unless migration makes up the gap.

## What it does not say

Leaves out migration, so total population can still grow while natural increase is negative.
