If total population is stable but the share of elderly people is increasing, which change is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The relative share of younger or working-age groups may decline

A stable total population describes the total number of people, not the fixed size of every age group. Birth rates, death rates, survival, and ageing can change the composition even when the total remains nearly unchanged. If older people become a larger percentage, the percentages of younger people, working-age people, or both must together become smaller, because all age-group shares add up to 100 percent.

Option A is correct because the relative share of younger or working-age groups may decline as the elderly share rises. The word “relative” is important: a group could remain numerically stable or even grow while becoming a smaller percentage of the total. The other options incorrectly assume that a stable total prevents demographic change. Therefore, option A follows from the meaning of population shares.
