If the birth rate is falling but the young population is large, why can population growth continue in the near future?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A large young population can influence the number of future births

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Population growth depends not only on the birth rate but also on the number of people in child-bearing ages, deaths, and migration. If a region has a very large young population, many people may enter the child-bearing age group in the coming years. Even when each family has fewer children and the birth rate is falling, the total number of births can remain substantial because the number of potential parents is large. This continuing effect is called population momentum. Option A is correct because the age structure can keep births high for some time. Option B is wrong because the birth rate is an important measure of births. Option C is wrong because death rates are not automatically zero. Option D is wrong because migration can occur and can also affect total population. Memory cue: a large young base can keep population growth moving forward even after fertility begins to decline.
