# 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 **Jordan** over **24 years**, from **2000 to 2023**.
