If a country has a large reproductive-age population but heavy out-migration from that age group, what long-term effect may occur on population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Future births and demographic momentum may weaken

People in the reproductive-age group are potential parents, so their number and location affect future births. If many of them leave the country, fewer potential parents remain. Even when the country has a large young population, this out-migration can reduce the number of births occurring within the country.

Therefore option A is the best answer. Fewer births may weaken the future growth created by a youthful age structure, a process called demographic momentum. The effect is not absolutely guaranteed because fertility, return migration, and family patterns also matter, but it is a possible long-term outcome. The other choices use “always,” deny a likely effect, or make an unrelated claim about death rates.
