A city is receiving large-scale in-migration of young workers. What immediate effect can this have on its age structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The working-age share may increase

Migration is often selective by age because young adults are especially likely to move for employment. If a city receives many young workers, the number and share of people in the working-age group can rise immediately. Therefore option B gives the most reasonable age-structural effect. This does not mean every age group changes equally or that children disappear.

Age structure describes the proportion of people in different age groups. The incoming workers add directly to the working-age population and may make that group a larger share of the city total. The elderly share does not necessarily increase, and all age groups will not become equal. The wording says the share may increase, which appropriately allows for other population changes.
