Q. Which of the following is/are consequences of zero population growth?

1. A growing labour force
2. Demographic dividend
3. Increasing old age dependency ratio

Select the correct option from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 3
Notes: Zero population growth means birth rate equals death rate, leading to a stabilized population. This condition typically increases the proportion of elderly people, resulting in a higher old age dependency ratio, not in a growing labour force or demographic dividend. Hence, only statement 3 is correct while 1 and 2 are not consequences of zero population growth.
