If a society's birth rate has already declined but its working-age population is still very large, which opportunity is this situation most strongly associated with?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A potential demographic dividend window

A fall in birth rate usually reduces the proportion of children after some time. If large generations born earlier are still entering or occupying working ages, the working-age share can become unusually high. This creates a possible demographic dividend window, not an automatic economic benefit.

During this window, a country may have fewer dependents relative to workers. However, the opportunity produces benefits only when jobs, education, health, skills, and suitable policies allow people to work productively and save or invest. Low fertility does not guarantee population stability, and it cannot cause infant mortality to rise inevitably. Therefore, option A is correct.
