If migration into a region mainly consists of people aged 20 to 35 years, what effect will it have on the age structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Share of young working-age adults will increase

People aged 20 to 35 are generally within the working-age part of a population. If many such people move into a region, that age group becomes a larger share of the destination population. The region may gain workers, consumers, and taxpayers, although the exact effect depends on the size and characteristics of the migration. Therefore, option A is correct.

Migration changes the composition of the destination, not merely its total size. A concentration of young adults widens the corresponding middle section of the age pyramid. It does not immediately double the child population, because migrants are described as adults rather than children. It also does not increase the share of people above 60; in fact, the relative share of older people may fall if many young adults arrive. Thus the young working-age group is the clearest effect.
