If people aged 15 to 59 form 65 percent of a country's population, which conclusion is most appropriate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The working-age share is large

The 15-to-59 age group is generally used as a broad working-age category in population studies. If this group makes up 65 percent of the total population, nearly two-thirds of the people are in the ages commonly associated with potential employment and economic activity. This indicates a large working-age share, although it does not prove that all of these people have jobs or are economically active.

Therefore option B is the most appropriate conclusion. The information does not establish that child dependency is very high, because the sizes of younger groups are not given. It also does not show that the elderly are the largest group. Finally, a large working-age share does not mean there are no dependants; children and older people may still form the remaining 35 percent. A demographic dividend is possible, but it requires jobs, skills, health, and effective policies.
