In which condition can the same workforce become a burden?

Correct answer: When jobs, skills and health facilities are insufficient

Answer: A. A large workforce is not automatically an advantage. It becomes a burden when the economy cannot provide enough suitable jobs, when workers lack useful skills and when health services are inadequate. In that situation, many people may remain unemployed or underemployed, household incomes may stay low and public services may face extra pressure. A is correct because it lists the main missing conditions that prevent a workforce from becoming a development resource. B is wrong because strong industry and education usually improve employment and productivity. C is wrong because rapidly growing employment creates more opportunities rather than a burden. D is wrong because available skill training helps workers become employable. The same number of working-age people can therefore be an opportunity in one place and a challenge in another, depending on education, health and employment conditions. Memory cue: people are potential workers; opportunities and capabilities decide the result.
