If the working-age population is large but jobs are unavailable, which problem may occur?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Unemployment

A large working-age population means that many people are in the ages when they can usually work. This can help economic growth, but only when enough jobs, training, and suitable opportunities are available. A large number of potential workers by itself does not guarantee employment or prosperity. If jobs are missing, many people may remain without regular income and may depend on families or public support. The likely problem is therefore unemployment, which is option A.

The other choices describe results that do not logically follow. Life expectancy cannot automatically double merely because the working-age group is large. Children may still depend on adults, so child dependency does not disappear, and elderly people do not become zero. Underemployment, in which people work fewer hours or below their skill level, may also occur, but option A is the broad and correct answer. It connects the age structure with the availability of employment.
