If a country's large youth population is rapidly entering working ages, which policy is most necessary?

Correct answer: Skill development and job creation

A large youth population entering working ages can create both an opportunity and a serious challenge. If young people receive suitable education and skills and can find productive work, they may increase production, incomes, tax revenue, and economic growth. Without enough jobs, however, the same demographic change may produce unemployment, insecure work, frustration, and social pressure.

The most necessary response is therefore a combined policy of skill development and job creation. Technical training, quality education, apprenticeships, entrepreneurship support, and expansion of productive industries can help young adults enter the labour market. Pension increases and elderly health care address ageing, not the immediate needs of a large incoming workforce. Ending birth registration would weaken planning and public services. Hence option A is correct.
