Why can out-migration affect the age structure of rural areas?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Working-age people often move out for employment or education

Correct answer: A, because working-age people often move out for employment or education. Age structure means the proportion of children, working-age adults and older people in a population. When many adults leave a rural area, the relative share of children and older people may become larger, while the share of working-age adults becomes smaller. This can affect agricultural work, household responsibilities, income and demand for services. B is absurd because physical landforms do not migrate in this demographic process. C is incorrect because migration does not automatically stop births; births can continue among the people who remain. D is not a proper explanation and is poorly connected to the question. Death rates can influence age structure, but the question asks specifically about the effect of out-migration. Remember: when one age group leaves disproportionately, the composition of the whole population changes.
