If a country has a large child population and a small elderly population, what type of age structure does it have?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Youthful age structure

An age structure is called youthful when children make up a large share of the population and older people make up a relatively small share. A population pyramid for such a country often has a broad base because many children are present, while the upper part is narrower because fewer people reach or remain in old age. This pattern usually creates strong future needs for schooling, nutrition, health care, and later employment.

Option A is correct because the described proportions are the defining feature of a youthful age structure. Option B would require a large elderly share, not a small one. Option C suggests similar numbers across age groups, which is not stated, and D wrongly excludes children and older people. The description concerns the composition of all age groups, not only the working population.
