What is the simple meaning of population momentum?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth continuing due to a large young population even after the birth rate falls

Direct answer: A is correct. Population momentum is the tendency for population growth to continue for some time after fertility or the birth rate has started to decline. The main reason is age structure: a large number of young people may soon enter the ages when they can have children. Even if each person has fewer children than earlier generations, the large number of potential parents can keep the total number of births high for a period. B is the opposite of the idea and is therefore wrong. C is wrong because momentum does not mean that deaths always increase. D is wrong because momentum is about the effect of age structure on future births, not about migration stopping. Momentum means continuation caused by an existing structure, not unlimited growth forever. Memory cue: a young population can keep moving forward even after birth rates begin to slow.
