Question

Which best describes the age structure of a population with zero population growth?
Question 5 options:

The majority of people are of prereproductive ages in a broad-base pyramid age structure diagram.

The age-structure diagram would be narrow at the bottom and top with a broader middle.

The age structure would be broad at the top in postreproductive ages and narrow downward in an inverted pyramid.

The age-structure diagram would be column-shaped with all age classes approximately equal.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is D) The age-structure diagram would be column-shaped with all age classes approximately equal.

Explanation:

A zero population growth refers to a condition when the birth rate equals to the death rate. Social workers tends to find methods to attain zero population growth as such conditions provide economic stability. As the birth rate and the death rate will be equal hence the age structure diagram of such a population can be seen to be column shaped as they all will be equal.
