If the 0 to 14 years age group forms a very large share of a country's total population, what type of age structure does it indicate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Youthful age structure

The age group from 0 to 14 years represents children and young adolescents. If this group forms a very large share of the total population, the population has a broad base and many young people. Such a distribution is called a youthful age structure. It often occurs where fertility has been relatively high, although mortality, migration, and the exact age boundaries also influence the final pattern.

Option A is therefore correct. An ageing structure would have a larger share of older people and usually a narrower base. A stable low-birth structure would not normally contain an exceptionally large child share, and a population cannot be classified as migrant-only merely because its children form a large proportion. The important evidence is the unusually high proportion of people aged 0 to 14, which identifies the population as youthful and may create strong future demand for education and later employment.
