Under which situation can future population growth slow even when the current age pyramid has a broad base?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: If fertility is falling rapidly

A broad base shows that the country currently has a large child population, but it does not guarantee that future birth cohorts will remain equally large. Population growth depends strongly on future fertility, as well as mortality and migration. If fertility falls rapidly, the number of births to later generations can decrease even while the present large child cohort is still growing up.

As a result, the age pyramid may gradually narrow at the base, and population growth may slow after a period of momentum. Option A is correct. A continuously rising birth rate would tend to sustain or increase growth, and falling life expectancy does not by itself explain slower growth when births are rising. Immigration of young people would generally add to, rather than necessarily slow, growth.
