What does a broad base of a population pyramid generally indicate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Large child population

A population pyramid displays the age composition of a population. Its base represents the youngest age groups, usually children, while the middle and upper portions represent working-age and older people. The width of the base therefore tells us how large the young population is compared with other age groups.

A broad base means that many children are present, either because the birth rate has been high, because the child population has survived in large numbers, or both. Such a pyramid generally indicates a youthful population and may suggest continued population growth if these children later enter reproductive ages. It does not mean that births are zero or that only working-age people exist. Thus option A, large child population, is correct.
