If a country's average age is rising while its total population is also growing rapidly, which conclusion is most accurate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The population may be ageing even while total numbers grow

Population ageing and total population growth are different measurements. Ageing means that the average age rises or that older people form a larger share of the population. Total population growth means that the number of people increases. These two trends can occur at the same time.

For example, improved survival may increase the number of older people, while births and immigration may still add enough people to make the total population grow rapidly. A rising average age therefore does not prove that the population is declining, that births have stopped, or that ageing occurs only during decline. Option B is the most accurate conclusion because it recognizes both processes together.
