If a population pyramid has a narrow base but a very broad middle, which policy priority may become important in the near future?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Employment and skill development

A population pyramid with a narrow base usually shows low fertility and a relatively small number of children. A very broad middle indicates that many people are in the working-age groups. In the near future, this large group will need opportunities to work productively. Education and training that match available and emerging occupations can help turn the age structure into an economic advantage.

Therefore, employment and skill development should become an important policy priority. New primary schools and infant nutrition are essential where children are numerous, but a narrow base means they are not the most immediate broad priority here. Elderly homes may become more important later as the large middle group ages, but the near-term signal points most strongly to jobs and skills. Thus A is correct.
