High birth rates generally increase the share of which age group?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Child age group

A high birth rate directly increases the number of babies and young children entering the population. If this pattern continues, children form a larger share of the total population than they would in a low-fertility society. Such a population often has a broad-based age pyramid, because the youngest age groups are large. The effect concerns the share of children, although the exact percentage also depends on deaths, migration, and the size of older age groups.

Therefore, option B, the child age group, is correct. High birth rates do not immediately increase the elderly share, because new births add people at the youngest ages. They do not create only a working-age or retired population either. In time, today’s children may become working-age adults, but the immediate age-structure effect of high fertility is a larger child population and often a higher child-dependency burden.
