If ages 0 to 14 form 18 percent and ages 60 and above form 22 percent, which conclusion is most appropriate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The age structure is ageing

The figures show that people aged 60 and above make up 22% of the population, while children aged 0–14 make up 18%. Thus, the elderly share is larger than the child share. This indicates that the country has a relatively advanced or ageing age structure rather than a strongly youthful one. The comparison is a useful simple indicator of the population’s direction.

Therefore, option A is the most appropriate conclusion. The data do not prove every detail about fertility, life expectancy, or future change, but they do show that older people form a larger proportion than children. Option B is inconsistent with the figures. Option C is too narrow because both child and elderly dependency may matter, and option D is false because 22% is not a small elderly share in this comparison.
