If a country's child share is declining but demand for schools remains high, which explanation is most appropriate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Large earlier child cohorts are still of school age

Changes in the child share are not reflected in school demand immediately. Children born in earlier years move through the age structure as a cohort. If an earlier cohort was unusually large, many of those children may still be in primary or secondary school even after the proportion of children in the total population has begun to decline. Schools therefore continue to face high demand for some time.

Option A is correct because earlier large child cohorts can create a temporary delay between demographic change and education demand. Option B is wrong: low fertility generally reduces future school demand rather than immediately increasing it. Elderly people do not directly determine school enrolment, so C is unsuitable. Option D is false because age structure is closely related to the number of children needing schooling.
