If a city's population growth is driven mainly by in-migration of young workers, what effect on age structure is likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The share of working-age population may increase

Migration is often selective by age because young adults are generally more mobile when searching for employment, education, or better opportunities. If many young workers enter a city, the number and proportion of people in the working-age group may rise. This can also affect demand for housing, transport, and services, although the exact outcome depends on the migrants' ages and the existing population.

Option A is correct because it gives the most likely effect of young-worker in-migration. Option B is too certain and points to an opposite age group. Option C is unrealistic because migration does not make all age groups equal, while option D ignores the direct demographic effect of adding people with particular ages. The question asks what is likely, so “may increase” is appropriately cautious.
