Why does demographic dividend not automatically come from population growth?

Correct answer: Because education, health, and employment are necessary for it

Correct answer: A. Demographic dividend means a possible economic advantage created by a relatively large working-age population compared with dependants. Population growth alone does not guarantee this advantage. First, people need education and skills to become productive. Second, good health enables them to study, work, and contribute effectively. Third, the economy must create decent and suitable jobs; otherwise, a large working-age group may face unemployment or low productivity. A is correct because it identifies these essential conditions. B is wrong because population growth is not always harmful or always beneficial; its effects depend on conditions and management. C is wrong because the working-age group is central to the idea of a demographic dividend. D is wrong because population data can be collected and measured. Memory cue: dividend means a benefit that requires preparation and opportunity, not merely more people.
