If the share of people aged 15 to 59 increases, which part of the population pyramid may become relatively broader?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Middle section

A population pyramid places ages in vertical order: children at the bottom, working-age adults in the middle, and older people toward the top. The 15-to-59 group belongs broadly to the working-age population. Therefore, if this group forms a larger share, the middle section of the pyramid may become relatively wider.

This conclusion concerns the distribution of ages, not necessarily an increase in the total population. The base would widen mainly if the child share increased, while the top would widen mainly if the elderly share increased. Since the question refers specifically to ages 15 to 59, option A, the middle section, is the appropriate choice. Exact age boundaries can vary slightly between sources, but the stated group is clearly an adult working-age group.
