Which age structure generally has greater potential for future population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Very large young population

Age structure shows how many people belong to different age groups. A very large young population means that many people will reach working and reproductive ages in the future. Even if each family has fewer children, the large number of potential parents can keep the total number of births relatively high. This effect is often called population momentum.

Therefore, option B is correct. A large elderly population generally has less potential to produce future births because most members are beyond reproductive ages. A population containing only middle-aged people does not usually provide the same broad future base, and the absence of all age groups is impossible as a useful population structure. The answer concerns demographic potential, not a guarantee of unlimited growth.
