If jobs rise rapidly in a city but housing and water facilities do not increase, what will be the effect of population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Service and housing pressure will rise

Direct answer: A, service and housing pressure will rise. Rapid job growth can attract workers and their families through in-migration. This increases the number of people needing homes, water, sanitation, transport, schools, and other services. If housing and water facilities do not expand at the same time, demand becomes greater than available supply, producing pressure and possible shortages. A is correct because it connects a population pull factor—jobs—with a service gap. B is wrong because population growth changes demand even if the facilities do not change. C is wrong because jobs generally attract people rather than making a city immediately empty. D is wrong because birth rates do not automatically become zero when jobs increase. The question highlights the need to plan infrastructure along with urban population growth. Memory cue: jobs attract people; unchanged services face extra demand.
