Explanation:

The population change refers to change in the number of people during a specific time. Births are usually measured using the birth rate i.e. the number of live births per 1,000 people. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect. Births and deaths are the natural causes of population change. The difference between the birth rate and the death rate of a country is called the natural growth rate. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
