When analyzing age structure at a medium level, what should be examined along with age percentages?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Dependency, population pyramid, employment, and service demand

Age percentages show the relative shares of children, working-age people, and older people, but percentages alone do not explain their social and economic consequences. The dependency ratio helps estimate the pressure that children and older people may place on the working-age group. A population pyramid shows the shape and possible future direction of the age structure. Employment information indicates whether working-age people are economically engaged, while service-demand data helps plan schools, health care, housing, transport, and pensions.

These measures together provide a more useful medium-level analysis than age percentages alone. Rainfall, temperature, area, language, and religion may matter for other studies, but they do not directly interpret age structure. Therefore option A is correct because it combines demographic structure with its economic and service implications.
