Under which situation may the population growth rate decline while the total number of births remains high for some time?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A large young population with declining fertility

A large young population can create population momentum. Many young people may enter reproductive ages, so the total number of births can remain high even when the average number of children per woman, or fertility rate, is falling. At the same time, a decline in fertility reduces the potential for future growth, so the overall growth rate may begin to slow.

Thus, option A is correct: a large young population with declining fertility can produce high total births for some time while growth decelerates. “No births” is inconsistent with the stated situation, and very high deaths are not necessary for this pattern. Migration being zero also does not explain the combination as directly as age structure and fertility do.
