If net migration is zero but arrivals are younger and more educated while departures are older, what effect is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Human capital and working-age structure may strengthen

Net migration is the difference between the number of people entering and leaving a place. A net value of zero tells us only that these two numbers are equal. It does not mean that the characteristics of the people arriving and departing are identical. Age, education, skills, and other qualities can change the population structure even when the total number remains unchanged.

Here, younger and better-educated arrivals increase the share of people likely to work and add skills to the local population. The departure of older people may further reduce the elderly share. Therefore, human capital and the working-age structure may strengthen, so option A is correct. The total population need not double, natural increase is not automatically zero, and structural effects are possible.
