If both the child share and the elderly share are low in a region, which age group must be relatively large?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Working-age population

The governing principle is that the percentages of all age groups together must total 100 percent. If the proportions of children and elderly people are both small, their combined share occupies only a limited part of the population. The remaining and therefore relatively larger share must belong mainly to the middle or working-age population. Hence, option A is correct. Option B cannot be inferred because newborns are only one small part of the child group. Option C contradicts the statement that the elderly share is low. Option D is impossible because every person must belong to some age category. Such a structure may result in a low dependency ratio and can provide a demographic opportunity, but the economic benefit depends on education, health, skills and the availability of productive employment.
