# Population Growth (Annual %)
Population Growth (Annual %) is a demographic indicator that measures the rate at which the population of a country or region increases over a year, expressed as a **percentage of the total population**.
This rate accounts for:
- **Births**
- **Deaths**
- **Net migration** (the difference between the number of people entering and leaving the country)
A **positive growth rate** indicates an increasing population, while a **negative rate** signals a declining population.
The **chart** illustrates the **percentage of population growth** in **Israel** over **24 years**, from **2000 to 2023**.
