If net migration is numerically zero but arrivals are mainly educated young adults while departures are older people, what is the most likely effect?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Working-age and skill structure may strengthen

Net migration is a numerical balance: arrivals minus departures. A net value of zero means the numbers entering and leaving are equal, but it does not mean the two groups have identical ages, education, or skills. Population composition can therefore change even when total population size remains unchanged.

Here, educated young adults arrive while older people leave. The country or city may consequently have a larger share of working-age people and a stronger skill profile. Thus option A is correct. Total population will not automatically double, and natural increase is not required to become zero. The example shows why demographic analysis must consider the characteristics of migrants, not only their net number.
