Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So what impact will an STD epidemic have on the age distribution in affected countries. Before we jump into this video, remember that an STD epidemic is a sexually transmitted disease epidemic. So this word sexually means that it's transmitted through sex. Now that we know this, let's jump over answer choices so that we may begin solving the problem beginning by answer choice A. It will reduce the number of sexually active adults. This is actually going to be a correct answer choice B. Because if we have a disease that is transmitted sexually, this sexually active adults will be obtaining the disease. And if it's deadly, the number of sexually active adults will definitely decrease because of these. We're not going to cancel us out. Instead, we're going to move on to answer choice C the number of Children will decrease if the epidemic continues. So what is happening here? If the number of adults that are sexually active is decreasing, then these adults will have less Children resulting in the number of Children decreasing as well. So it is actually going to be correct as well and we will not cancel it out. Now let's jump poverty to answer choice B. It will increase the number of elderly individuals. Well, if the number of adults and the number of Children decrease, the number of elderly individuals will actually increase In relation to these two values. So this will definitely be a correct answer choice as well. And this leaves us with answer choice D all of the above being the correct answer as we could not can't allow any of these answer choices, but it's going to be the end of the video, and I really hope this helped you.
