If an area has a low birth rate but high immigration of young families, what effect can occur on its future population structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The shares of children and working-age groups may increase

Answer: A. Population structure means the composition of the population by age and other characteristics. A low birth rate by itself tends to reduce the proportion of children over time, but the arrival of young families can change that pattern. The adults add to the working-age group, and their children add to the child group. The exact result depends on the number, ages, and family composition of migrants, so the question correctly says “may increase.” Option B is impossible because migration does not make every age group disappear. Option C is an unsupported absolute claim; migration does not automatically double mortality. Option D is wrong because age is an important characteristic of migrants. Memory cue: migration changes not only population size but also population composition.
