What is the most precise meaning of the age structure of a population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Proportion of population in different age groups

Age structure describes how the total population is divided among age groups at a particular time. It commonly compares children, working-age adults and older people, although more detailed studies may use narrower age bands. The proportions help explain dependency, labour supply, schooling needs, health services and future population change.

Option A is correct because it defines age structure as the proportion or distribution of people in different ages. Birth rate is a process that affects age structure but is not its meaning. The number of employed people measures employment, and the total elderly population describes only one group. A proper age-structure analysis considers the whole population across several age categories.
