If both the upper and middle sections of a population pyramid are broad but the base is very narrow, which combined conclusion is most appropriate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The current working-age and elderly groups are large while future young cohorts are small

The shape of a population pyramid gives clues about the size of different age groups. A broad middle means that many people are currently in the working-age range. A broad upper section means that the older population is also substantial. In contrast, a very narrow base means that relatively few children are being born and that younger future cohorts will be small.

Thus, the pyramid indicates a large present working-age group and a considerable elderly group, while the narrow base points to low recent fertility and smaller future youth cohorts. Option A combines all three observations. The pyramid does not show an extremely youthful population or very high fertility; those conditions would normally produce a broad base.
