If a country's working-age share is increasing while its average age is also rising, which combination can explain this situation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Large youth cohorts are entering working ages while the child share is declining

The governing concept is the interaction of age cohorts. When large groups of young people enter the working-age range, the proportion of working-age people can rise. At the same time, declining fertility reduces the share of very young children, which raises the population’s average age because fewer people are concentrated at the youngest ages. These two processes can occur together during demographic transition. Rising fertility and an expanding child population would generally push average age downward, not upward. The disappearance of older people or equal ages is unrealistic. Hence, option A explains both observations.
