If net migration is zero but arrivals have an average age of 23 and departures an average age of 68, what effect is likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Average age may fall and working-age population may rise

Zero net migration means that the number arriving equals the number leaving. It does not mean that the two groups have the same ages or that migration has no demographic effect. The age composition of migrants matters even when the numerical balance is zero. Replacing older residents with younger arrivals changes the population structure.

Here, arrivals have an average age of 23 and departures have an average age of 68. A younger group replaces an older group, so the average age may fall and the working-age share may rise. This information alone cannot show that the total population will double, that natural increase is zero, or that age structure will remain unchanged. Thus option A follows from the age difference.
