Which option gives a positive side of population growth for human capital?

Correct answer: If education and skills are provided, a growing youth population can become a labour force

The direct answer is A. Human capital means the knowledge, education, abilities, health, and skills that people can use productively. A growing youth population is not automatically a benefit or a problem. If young people receive good education, useful training, health support, and opportunities for decent work, many can enter the labour force and contribute to production, services, innovation, and society. A is correct because it states the necessary condition: education and skills help turn a large youth group into a productive human resource. B is wrong because population can contribute when people are prepared and opportunities exist. C is wrong because youth can be an opportunity as well as a challenge; the result depends on preparation and employment. D is wrong because education strongly affects the abilities and choices of young people. Memory cue: youth plus education, skills, health, and work opportunities can create a demographic opportunity.
