If the growth rate is declining but the young population is large, what is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Some population growth may continue for some time

Correct answer: A, some population growth may continue for some time. Population growth depends not only on the present growth rate but also on the age composition of the population. When a large share of people is young, many of them may enter reproductive ages in the future. Even if each family has fewer children and the growth rate is declining, the large number of potential parents can keep births relatively high for some time. This delayed continuation of growth is called population momentum. Option A is correct because the population may keep increasing before it stabilises or begins to decline. Option B is wrong because a declining rate does not mean that the number of people instantly becomes zero. Option C is wrong because death rate and area are different demographic and geographical ideas. Option D is wrong because migration is not automatically stopped by a declining growth rate. Memory cue: a large young population gives growth “momentum,” like a moving object that does not stop instantly.
