If the share of the working-age population is increasing but employment opportunities are inadequate, which problem may arise?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Increase in unemployment

A rising working-age population means that more people may enter or seek employment. It does not mean that jobs will automatically increase at the same rate. If industries, services, businesses, and skill-training systems cannot absorb this growing labour force, many people may remain without work or may accept irregular, low-paid employment.

Therefore, the direct possible problem described is an increase in unemployment, making option A correct. A larger working-age group does not eliminate the need for schools, remove elderly people, or make the birth rate automatically zero. The result depends on education, skills, investment, labour demand, and effective public policy. A favourable age structure becomes an advantage only when employment opportunities are sufficient.
