If the share of elderly people increases, which part of the population pyramid may broaden?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Upper part

A population pyramid places age groups in order from young to old. Children are shown near the base, working-age groups in the middle, and elderly people near the top. Therefore, the location of a group in the pyramid depends on age, not simply on whether its share is increasing or decreasing.

If the proportion of elderly people rises, the upper section representing older ages may become wider. Hence, option A is correct. The base represents children and cannot be identified as the elderly section. A rise in the elderly share does not imply that only the lowest part changes, and saying that no part may broaden ignores the direct relationship between age composition and the pyramid’s shape.
