If youth out-migration and the elderly population are both increasing, what effect is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The working population may decline and dependency may rise

Direct answer: A. Young adults are often an important part of the working-age population. If many of them leave through out-migration, fewer working people may remain in the source area. At the same time, an increasing elderly population may need greater support, health care, and household care. The combination can reduce the proportion of workers and raise the dependency burden, meaning relatively more non-working or dependent people rely on the working population. A is correct because it follows from both changes together. B is wrong because youth out-migration and ageing do not automatically make the birth rate rise; birth rates depend on several social and demographic factors. C is too absolute: out-migration does not guarantee that nobody enters. D is impossible as a consequence of population movement because migration does not change the physical area of a region. Memory cue: fewer young workers plus more elderly people means greater dependency pressure.
