Which option correctly relates population growth and age structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rapid growth can increase the share of young dependent population

Correct answer: A. Age structure shows how many people belong to different age groups, such as children, working-age people, and older people. Rapid population growth is often associated with a high number of births. Over time, this can increase the proportion of children and young dependants, who generally need support from working-age adults. A says “can,” so it correctly describes a possible relationship without claiming that every place is identical. B is wrong because rapid growth does not make everyone old. C is wrong because the number of births and the age distribution are connected. D is wrong because rapid growth is commonly associated with continuing additions through births, not the stopping of births. Memory cue: many births today can mean a younger age structure tomorrow.
