A city's total population grows by 25 percent but the 0 to 14 age group grows by only 3 percent. What is the most likely explanation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Much of the growth came from young adult migration

Age-group growth can differ from total population growth because people of different ages contribute differently to population change. A city may receive many migrants who are young adults, while the number of children changes only slightly. Such migrants increase the total population without immediately increasing the 0-to-14 age group by the same amount.

Here total population rises by 25 percent, but the child group rises by only 3 percent. This pattern is consistent with migration of people mainly in working or young-adult ages, perhaps toward jobs or education. A sharp rise in births would usually affect the child group more strongly. Therefore option A is the most plausible answer.
