If the number of people aged 0 to 14 is declining while the 15 to 59 age group is increasing, what opportunity may arise in the near future?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A large potential labour force

The 15–59 age group is commonly treated as the working-age population, while children and older people are generally considered dependent groups. If the child group is shrinking and the working-age group is growing, a country may soon have a large supply of potential workers. This can create an opportunity for higher production, income, and economic growth. However, the opportunity is not automatic. It depends on whether people receive suitable education, skills, health care, and decent employment.

Option A is correct because a growing working-age group can provide a large potential labour force. The figures do not imply that elderly dependency has immediately reached its maximum; that would require information about the older population. A declining child group does not double school demand, and it does not cause birth rates to rise rapidly. The key demographic opportunity is a possible demographic dividend when the working-age population is productively employed.
