A city has natural change of -12000 and net migration of +12000. Even with stable total population, which change is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Age structure and labor-force composition can change

Total population can remain unchanged even when its components are changing. Here natural change is -12,000, meaning deaths exceed births by 12,000. Net migration is +12,000, meaning arrivals exceed departures by the same amount. These two numerical effects cancel, so the total population has no net change.

However, the people represented by these components may belong to different age and work groups. Natural decrease may involve many older residents, while incoming migrants may mainly be young adults of working age. Consequently, the age structure, labour-force composition, skills, and future birth potential can change even though the total count is stable. Thus option A is correct; land area does not automatically increase and births or deaths do not become zero.
