The correct answer is - immigration.

Even though the fertility rate suggests zero population growth, the population can gradually grow with immigration. Perfect example of this are the USA and Canada. Even though the fertility rates are low, the population is gradually growing because of the immigration that's taking place, and people from all around the world come to live in this countries.
