If large-scale in-migration of young adults increases in a country, what effect may it have on the pace of population ageing?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ageing may slow temporarily

Ageing usually refers to a rising share of older people in the total population. Large-scale in-migration of young adults increases the working-age group and changes the age structure. For a period, older people then make up a smaller proportion of the total population, even though the absolute number of older residents need not fall.

Therefore, young adult migration may temporarily slow the pace at which the population appears to age, making option A correct. It cannot be said that ageing will end immediately or that the elderly population will automatically double. The exact long-term effect depends on migrants’ ages, future births, deaths and later migration.
