A country has persistently low birth rates, yet total population continues to grow for some years and later stabilises. What does this sequence best illustrate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Gradual fading of population momentum

Population momentum is the continued growth that can occur after fertility has already fallen, usually because a large young population is entering or moving through childbearing ages. This growth does not require a sudden rise in birth rate. It gradually weakens as the age structure changes and smaller generations replace larger ones.

Thus, a country may have low birth rates while total births remain substantial for some years because many young adults are present. Later, as the population structure becomes older and the number of potential parents changes, growth slows and the population can stabilise. This sequence illustrates the gradual fading of population momentum, so option A is correct. It does not show zero deaths or a permanent population explosion.
