If the share of children is large, what effect on future population growth is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Large child cohorts may later enter reproductive ages

A large child population represents a large group that will gradually move into adolescence, adulthood, and eventually reproductive ages. Even if each woman later has fewer children, the total number of births can remain substantial because many people may be entering the childbearing ages at the same time. This is sometimes called population momentum.

Therefore, large child cohorts can support continued population growth in the future, making option A correct. The effect is not immediate ageing, and births do not automatically stop. Elderly dependency also cannot become zero simply because the child share is large. The actual outcome will also depend on fertility, mortality, and migration, but among the choices, the future movement of a large cohort into reproductive ages is the most appropriate explanation.
