If large numbers of young working-age people migrate out, what effect may occur in the origin area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The working-age share may decline

Age structure shows how a population is divided among age groups. Young working-age adults are an important part of the working-age population and labor supply. If many of them migrate out, the origin area loses people from that age group. Even if the total population changes only slightly, the proportions of the remaining age groups can change noticeably.

Therefore, the working-age share may decline, so option A is correct. Children and older people may then form a larger relative share of the origin population, although their actual numbers do not necessarily rise. The child population cannot be said to double, and the elderly population will not become zero. The statement that age structure will not change ignores the direct effect of selective migration by age.
