If large numbers of young workers migrate into a country, what effect may occur on age structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The working-age share may increase

Age structure shows how the population is divided among age groups. Most young workers belong to the working-age category, commonly defined in demographic analysis as approximately 15 to 59 or 15 to 64 years, depending on the source. When many such people migrate into a country, the number and share of the working-age group can increase. The effect is especially strong if the migrants are numerous compared with the existing population and are concentrated in working ages. Migration can thus reshape the pyramid even without a change in birth rates.

Choice A is correct because the incoming population is concentrated in working ages. Choice B is impossible as a general conclusion: bringing in workers does not make all children disappear. Choice C is not necessary; elderly numbers do not automatically double because young workers arrive. Choice D is incorrect because migration directly changes the age composition. The word “may” is appropriate because the exact effect depends on the migrants’ size and the country’s original age structure.
