If mostly young adults leave an area in search of work, what effect may occur on its age structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Working-age share may decline

Age structure is affected by migration because migrants are not evenly distributed across all age groups. Young adults commonly move for employment, education, or better opportunities. If many of them leave the origin area, the number and proportion of people in the working-age group there can decline. The area may then have a relatively larger share of children and elderly residents.

This does not mean that children immediately disappear, that all older people leave, or that births automatically rise. Birth rates may even fall if many potential parents have migrated, but that result is not automatic. The most direct and likely effect described is a reduced working-age share in the origin area. Therefore, option A is correct.
