If a country's growth rate is declining but its working-age population is expected to rise for another decade, what is the main explanation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Large cohorts born earlier are entering working ages

Population growth at the present time and the size of the working-age group do not respond at exactly the same moment. Working-age people were born many years earlier, so today’s working-age population reflects the birth patterns of the past. A country can have a declining current growth rate while a large earlier birth cohort is reaching working ages.

Thus, large groups born in previous decades may enter the working-age range during the next decade. The falling growth rate does not make every age group shrink immediately. Working-age population is related to birth history, and migration is not always zero. Therefore option A correctly explains the situation.
