If people aged 15 to 59 form 68 percent of a country's population and unemployment is low, which economic opportunity is most likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Demographic dividend

When 68 percent of a country’s population is aged 15 to 59, the country has a large proportion of people in the potential working-age group. If unemployment is low, many of these people can actually participate in employment and production. Their work can raise output and household income, while their earnings and savings may support investment, education, health, and infrastructure. This combination can create a demographic dividend, provided that skills, jobs, institutions, and health conditions are adequate.

Therefore, option A is correct. A demographic dividend is an economic opportunity created by a relatively large working-age population compared with dependants. The age share alone does not guarantee prosperity; low unemployment in the question makes the opportunity more likely. Options B and C describe dependency pressures that are not indicated here, while option D is contrary to the stated low unemployment and large working-age share.
