If a population pyramid has a narrow base and narrow top but a very broad middle, which situation is most likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The working-age group is very large

A population pyramid shows the relative size of age groups. Its base represents children, its middle represents the working-age population, and its upper part represents older people. A narrow base means that the child share is relatively small, while a narrow top means that the elderly share is relatively small. If the middle is very broad, the largest share is concentrated in working ages.

Therefore, the most likely situation is a very large working-age group, making option A correct. Such a structure may produce a relatively low immediate dependency burden because both major dependent groups are smaller, although actual effects also depend on employment and social conditions. The narrow base rules out children being the largest group, and the narrow top rules out the elderly being the largest group. The pyramid therefore has clear demographic meaning.
