In which situation can the population structure of a rural area appear ageing?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Young working people move out in large numbers

Direct answer: C. A population structure appears ageing when the proportion of older people becomes relatively large compared with the proportion of children and young adults. In many rural areas, young working-age people leave for towns or cities to study or find employment. The people who remain may include a larger share of older adults, so the age structure looks older even if the elderly population has not suddenly increased. A is wrong because a large inflow of children would increase the young share. B is wrong because a high birth rate generally increases the share of children, making the population look younger, although other conditions can also matter. D is wrong because greater in-migration usually adds people to the area and does not by itself indicate ageing; its effect depends on the ages of migrants. Memory cue: when young people leave, the remaining population can look older.
