If a country's working-age population grows rapidly but employment does not expand, which outcome is likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Unemployment or underemployment may rise

The working-age population forms the main group seeking or holding employment. If this group grows quickly but the number of jobs does not grow at a similar pace, more people will compete for each available job. Some people may not find work at all, while others may find only part-time, irregular, or low-productivity work. This situation can raise unemployment or underemployment.

Therefore option A is correct. It is not reasonable to assume that everyone's income will increase when job opportunities are limited. Birth rates do not automatically become zero, and population does not immediately decline simply because employment growth is slow. Other outcomes may also depend on education, migration, and policy, but the most direct likely result among the choices is increased unemployment or underemployment.
