Which age-structural indicator is most useful for estimating the future labour force?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Size of current adolescent and young cohorts

Age structure is useful for forecasting the future labour force because cohorts move through life stages. Adolescents and young people are the groups most likely to enter working ages during the next several years, provided survival, education, migration, and labour-force participation follow reasonably expected patterns. Their present size gives a starting estimate of the number of potential future workers. It does not guarantee employment, but it is more directly relevant than the current number of elderly people or population density.

Choice A is correct because current adolescent and young cohorts will largely form future working-age groups. Choice B concerns people mostly near or beyond working age. Choice C gives only a historical birth count and does not by itself show survival, migration, or present age composition. Choice D describes spatial concentration, not the age-based supply of future workers. A good forecast would also examine education, health, migration, and participation rates.
