If a country has a very large child population but poor vaccination and nutrition, what effect may this have on the future demographic dividend?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The future workforce may have weaker health and productivity potential

Children are the possible workforce of the future, but their number alone does not guarantee a demographic dividend. A dividend is more likely when children survive, grow well, learn effectively, and later find productive work. Poor nutrition can impair physical and cognitive development, while weak vaccination and health care can increase preventable illness and absence from school or work.

Therefore, poor childhood health may reduce the skills, productivity, and employability of the future labour force. Option A is correct. The benefit is not automatic merely because the child population is large; it depends on investment in health, nutrition, education, and jobs. The other choices describe effects that do not logically follow from poor vaccination and nutrition.
