In which situation can high population growth also provide economic benefit?

Correct answer: When an educated and healthy working population gets employment

Correct answer: A. A large or growing working-age population can support economic development when people are healthy, educated, skilled, and able to find productive work. The sequence is important: education and health improve capabilities; skills and suitable jobs allow people to earn; employment can raise production, savings, and tax resources; and these resources can support families and public services. This possible advantage is often called a demographic dividend, but it is not automatic. A is correct because it includes the necessary conditions. B is wrong because declining resources create pressure rather than an economic benefit. C is wrong because the absence of schools and hospitals weakens human capital. D is wrong because a population made entirely of dependants has no sufficient working base. Memory cue: a young population becomes a dividend only when people are prepared and employed.
