If a country has a low dependency ratio but very high unemployment, why may its demographic dividend remain limited?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A large working-age population is not being absorbed into productive employment

The governing concept is the demographic dividend, which is a potential economic benefit arising when the working-age population forms a relatively large share of the total population. A low dependency ratio creates an opportunity, but it does not itself create jobs, productivity or income. If unemployment is very high, many working-age people cannot participate in productive employment, pay taxes or support economic output. Consequently, the potential dividend remains limited. Option A is correct. Option B is too absolute, option C does not follow from low dependency, and option D wrongly denies the economic importance of age structure. Education, skills, health, investment and suitable employment policies determine whether the opportunity is realised.
