If the middle portion of a population pyramid is relatively wide, it may indicate a large share of which group?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Working-age group

A population pyramid divides people by age, usually with younger groups near the bottom, working-age groups in the middle, and older groups near the top. If the middle section is relatively wide, many people belong to the working-age range compared with several other age groups. This may reflect a large generation, past migration, or changes in birth rates, so the shape should be interpreted with care.

A wide middle does not mean that only newborns, infants, or elderly people are numerous. It also cannot prove that everyone aged 25-39 has a job, because employment depends on education, health, labour demand, and social conditions. The safest conclusion is that the working-age group has a large share. Therefore option A is correct.
