A country's birth rate has declined, but total population is still growing and average age is increasing. What combined pattern does this indicate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population ageing with continuing slower growth

A falling birth rate generally reduces the share of children entering the population and can gradually raise the average age. However, total population does not necessarily stop growing immediately. A large young population from earlier periods can continue entering childbearing ages, producing demographic momentum. Lower mortality or positive migration may also support continued growth.

The combined pattern is therefore population ageing with continuing slower growth, so option A is correct. It is not high fertility and rejuvenation because births are declining. It is not complete stability because total population is still increasing. The statement does not require rapid natural increase; it describes ageing together with a continuing but slower rise.
