In which condition can population growth turn into an economic opportunity?

Correct answer: When education, skills, health and jobs are available together

Correct answer: A. A growing population becomes an economic opportunity only when people can develop their abilities and find productive work. Education builds basic knowledge, skill training improves employability, good health supports regular participation in work, and sufficient jobs allow people to earn and produce goods or services. When these conditions occur together, a large working-age population may create a demographic dividend. A is correct because it includes the main human-capital and employment requirements. B is wrong because weak services and few jobs turn population growth into pressure rather than opportunity. C removes training, so productivity may remain low. D describes scarcity and poor planning, which make the opportunity harder to realise. Memory cue: people become a dividend only when they are healthy, skilled and employed.
