Which statement is correct about population growth and employment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population growth can increase the number of job seekers

Direct answer: A is correct. Population growth can increase the number of people who eventually enter the working-age group and seek employment. This creates a larger potential labour force. However, population growth by itself does not create enough jobs; employment opportunities must grow through economic activity, skills, investment, and suitable planning. B is wrong because more people generally create continued or greater need for work and income. C is wrong because population size and age structure influence the number of potential workers and job seekers. D is wrong because growth does not guarantee a job for every person; if jobs grow more slowly than the labour force, unemployment or underemployment may rise. The word “can” in A is important: it states a possible effect, not an unavoidable result. Memory cue: more working-age people may mean more workers and also more competition for jobs.
