If the child population is small but the working-age population is very large, which economic situation may develop?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Opportunity for a demographic dividend

A large working-age population can create a demographic dividend because more people may be available to work compared with the number of children needing support. A small child population can reduce child dependency and may allow families and governments to spend more per child on education and health. However, the opportunity becomes an actual dividend only when suitable jobs, skills, health, and productive investment are available.

Option A is correct because the described age structure creates an opportunity for economic growth. Option B is opposite to the stated condition, since fewer children usually reduce child dependency. Option C is incorrect because a large working-age group is a potential labour force, not an absence of labour. Option D is too broad and does not describe the economic opportunity created by this structure.
