To determine if the birth rate increased or decreased from 2017 to 2018, we need to compare the number of births per population in both years.
In 2017, the population was reported as 58.75 million, and the number of births was 0.679 million.
Number of births per 1000 people in 2017 = (0.679 million / 58.75 million) * 1000 = 11.56 births per 1000 people
In 2018, the birth rate was reported as 11 births per 1000 people.
By comparing the birth rate in 2017 (11.56 births per 1000 people) to the birth rate in 2018 (11 births per 1000 people), we can see that the birth rate decreased from 2017 to 2018.
In a 2018 report the birth rate of a country was 11 births per 1000 people. In 2017 it had been reported in the country that in a population of 58.75 million, there had been 0.679 million births. Did the birth rate increase or decrease from 2017 to 2018?
