In a country, people aged 0 to 14 form 34 percent, those aged 15 to 59 form 58 percent, and those aged 60 and above form 8 percent. What is the most appropriate interpretation of this structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The working-age group is the largest but child dependency is also significant

The three age groups together account for the whole population: 34 percent are children, 58 percent are of working age, and 8 percent are elderly. The working-age group is the largest because 58 percent is greater than both 34 percent and 8 percent. However, the child share is also sizeable. It represents a substantial dependent population that needs education, health care, nutrition, and other support, even though it is smaller than the working-age group.

Option C is therefore the most appropriate interpretation. The figures do not show that the elderly are the largest group, so option A is wrong. The child group is not larger than the working-age group, so option B is wrong. Children and elderly people together form dependent groups, so option D is also wrong. The structure may offer a useful workforce base, but it also requires continued investment in children and preparation for future needs.
