If an area's birth rate is falling but young population is very large, why can growth continue in the near future?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the young base can affect future births

Direct answer: A. A population can show momentum when a large number of young people are approaching or entering the childbearing ages. Even if each person has fewer children and the birth rate is falling, the total number of births may remain substantial because the group capable of having children is large. This can keep population growth going for some time before the age structure changes. B is wrong because birth rate remains a meaningful measure of births relative to population. C is unsupported and unrealistic; a large young population does not make death rate zero. D is irrelevant because migration measurement is not the reason given here. The key idea is population momentum: age structure can delay the effect of falling fertility on total growth.
