A population with a very high proportion of children is generally considered to have what kind of age structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Young age structure

Age structure describes how a population is distributed among different age groups. When children and young people form a large share of the total population, the population is called youthful or is said to have a young age structure. This pattern often results from a relatively high birth rate, because many new members are being added to the youngest groups. It may also create future population growth as these large child cohorts reach reproductive and working ages.

The correct choice is therefore young age structure. An ageing structure is the opposite pattern, in which elderly people form a growing or large share. A stable elderly structure is not a standard description of a population with many children, and a population cannot be classified as migrant-only merely from its age distribution. The important clue is the unusually high proportion of children, which directly points to option A.
