If a country has a large young population but net out-migration is also concentrated among young people, what effect can this have on future population momentum?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Youth out-migration can reduce future births and growth potential

Population momentum is the tendency for population to keep growing because a large number of young people are reaching reproductive ages. However, this potential depends on those young adults remaining in the country and forming families there. If many of them migrate out, the number of future parents within the country can fall, reducing future births and weakening the expected momentum.

Therefore, option B is correct. The word “can” is important because the exact effect depends on the number and characteristics of migrants, as well as fertility and migration patterns. Population momentum is not necessarily strengthened merely because the country has many young people. Option C is incorrect because concentrated youth out-migration can have a real demographic effect; the other options are unrelated or absolute claims.
