A city's total population grows by 30 percent but the 0 to 14 age group grows by only 4 percent. What is the most likely explanation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Much of the growth came from young adult or working-age migration

The total population and the child population do not have to grow at the same rate. If a city receives many young adults for employment, education or other opportunities, the working-age group can expand rapidly. These newcomers increase the total population, but they are not counted in the 0–14 age group.

Thus, a 30 percent total increase alongside only a 4 percent increase among children is most plausibly explained by young adult or working-age in-migration. Option A is correct. A very high birth rate would normally raise the child group more strongly, while saying that children grew by 30 percent contradicts the given figure. The pattern does not make the total data impossible.
