If total population is increasing while the working-age population is declining, which demographic combination can explain this?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth of elderly and child populations with working-age out-migration

Total population is the combined number of children, working-age people, and older people. Therefore, the total can continue to rise even when one age group becomes smaller. Population change must be examined by age group, not only by the overall total. A fall in the working-age group can occur alongside growth in other groups.

Option A gives this combination: children and elderly people increase, while working-age adults leave through out-migration. The increase among children and older people can be greater than the loss of working-age adults, so total population still rises. Equal growth in every age group would not explain a decline in the working-age share, and doubling that group would produce the opposite pattern. Thus A is correct.
