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

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ageing age structure

An age structure describes the relative shares of children, working-age adults, and older people. When the elderly share is large and the child share is small, the population has relatively few young entrants and many people surviving to older ages. This pattern is called an ageing age structure.

It commonly develops when fertility remains low for a long period and life expectancy is comparatively high. Such a structure may influence planning for pensions, health care, long-term support, and the size of the future workforce. A youthful structure would instead have a large child population. The options about students only or zero age structure do not describe a recognised population pattern. Therefore, option A is correct.
