If rural-to-urban migration is rapid, what social effect is possible in villages?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Decline in the young population and a rise in the elderly dependency ratio

The direct answer is A: rapid movement of young adults from villages to cities can reduce the share of young people in the village and increase the relative share of older people. First, migration changes the number and composition of people in the place of origin. If many working-age villagers leave, fewer young adults remain to support children and older persons. The total village population may also fall, but the important social effect here is the change in age structure and dependency. A is correct because it describes a realistic demographic consequence. B is wrong because this migration adds people to cities rather than reducing their population. C is physically unrelated to migration. D is not a meaningful demographic effect; a birth rate is a measure, not an area. Memory cue: when young workers move out, the village may become relatively older.
