Employment-driven urban migration commonly changes the age structure of urban areas in which direction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The share of young adults increases

Employment-driven migration is usually selective by age. People who move to find work are often young adults because they are entering the labour market, changing jobs, or seeking better earnings and career opportunities. When many such migrants arrive in cities, the proportion of young adults in the urban population may rise. This can increase demand for jobs, rental housing, transport, training, and sometimes later family services if migrants settle permanently.

Option A is correct because it describes the most common age effect of employment migration. Option B is too narrow: migrants are not only children. Option C is unrelated to the normal pattern, and D ignores the age-selective nature of migration. The result is a general tendency, not an absolute rule; the exact change depends on the ages, sex composition, duration, and type of migration.
