For an increase in growth to occur in the next 10 years, the village would need to increase the number of individuals in the reproductive stage. These individuals could settle in the village and begin having children in the very near future. If they increased the number of individuals in the prereproductive stage, this would increase the population in the next 15-25 years. The children would require 15-25 years before they would become sexually mature and able to have children.
