If an ageing country receives a sustained inflow of young migrants for several years, which effect is most likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Working-age share may rise and ageing may slow

Age structure describes how many people belong to different age groups. An ageing country has a relatively large elderly population and often a smaller working-age share. Young migrants, especially when they arrive over many years, add people mainly to the working-age group. They can also later contribute to births, although that is not necessary for the immediate effect.

Option A is the most likely result. The number and share of working-age people may increase, while the elderly share of the total population may become smaller or grow more slowly for some time. This does not permanently end ageing, because migrants also grow older and future fertility and mortality matter. The elderly population cannot immediately fall to zero, and migration clearly changes age structure. Therefore A is correct.
