# 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, and 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 **Kuwait** over **24 years, from 2000 to 2023**.
