If the elderly population is increasing and young people are moving out, what effect is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The workforce may shrink and dependency may rise

The correct answer is A: the workforce may shrink and dependency may rise. Young people commonly form an important part of the working-age population. If they move out while the elderly share increases, fewer workers may remain to support production, services and households. At the same time, the number of people needing support in relation to workers may rise; this is an increase in the dependency burden. B is wrong because out-migration can reduce or slow population growth, and “always” is too absolute. C is wrong because young adults leaving does not guarantee a rise in the number of children. D is wrong because in-migration does not automatically follow out-migration; it depends on separate economic and social factors. Memory cue: youth out-migration plus ageing means fewer workers and more dependants.
