If mainly people aged 20–34 migrate to a metropolitan city for employment, what is the most direct effect on its local age structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The young working-age share will increase

Migration is often selective by age rather than evenly distributed across all age groups. People aged 20–34 are commonly in the young working-age category and are likely to move for employment, especially toward a metropolitan city. If the incoming group is mainly this age range, the city gains both more young workers and a larger share of them in its local population. Therefore option A is the direct effect.

The elderly group does not immediately become dominant, and the child share cannot automatically double because children are not the main incoming group. Nor do all age groups rise in equal proportion. The exact percentage change would depend on the city’s original population and the number of migrants, but the direction of the age-structure change is clear: age-selective migration raises the young working-age share.
