What is meant by the age structure of a population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Number or proportion of people in different age groups

Age structure means the distribution of a population among age groups. It may be expressed as the actual number of people in each group or as the percentage share of each group. Commonly, analysts distinguish children, working-age adults, and older people, although the exact age limits may vary according to the purpose of the study. This information helps describe whether a population is youthful, mature, or ageing.

The number of males and females describes sex composition, not age structure. Rural-urban residence describes settlement composition, and literacy describes an educational characteristic. None of these alone tells us how many people belong to different ages. Therefore option A is correct because it directly defines age structure as the number or proportion in different age groups.
