If 69 percent of a country's population is of working age but many are students or unemployed, which conclusion is appropriate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Being of working age is not the same as being employed

Working age is an age-based demographic classification. It identifies people who fall within a commonly defined age range, but it does not tell us whether they actually have a job, are seeking work, or are economically active. Students, unemployed people, homemakers, people with disabilities, and others outside the labour force may all be included in this group.

Thus, saying that 69 percent are of working age does not mean that all 69 percent are employed. Employment requires separate information about labour-force participation, jobs, and unemployment. The group remains economically important because it represents potential workers, but its size alone cannot prove actual employment. Dependants may still exist among children, older people, and economically inactive adults. Therefore, option A is correct.
