If the total dependency ratio is declining, which conclusion cannot always be drawn?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The country is definitely becoming economically prosperous

The governing concept is the difference between demographic potential and realised economic development. A declining total dependency ratio generally means that dependents form a smaller share relative to the working-age population. This may result from falling child dependency, a larger working-age share or other age-structure changes, and it can create an opportunity for a demographic dividend. However, prosperity is not guaranteed. The country still needs jobs, education, health, productivity, infrastructure, effective governance and fair participation to convert the opportunity into higher living standards. Therefore option A is the conclusion that cannot always be drawn. Options B and D are reasonable possibilities, while C can occur when fertility and the child share decline.
