Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The age structure of the country in the figure shows a smaller percentage of young people and a larger percentage of older people. This is indicative of a declining fertility rate because there are fewer children being born and a larger proportion of the population is aging. Option A is incorrect because an increasing fertility rate would result in a larger percentage of young people in the population. Option B is incorrect because an increasing rate of childhood mortality would result in a smaller percentage of young people in the population. Option D is incorrect because the age structure alone cannot determine the impact of immigration on the population.
