    A. Workforce too small
    A. Cannot support huge number of retirees
    Explanation
    The disadvantages of an ageing population include a workforce that is too small and unable to meet the demands of the economy. As more people retire, there are fewer individuals available to fill job positions, leading to labor shortages and decreased productivity. Additionally, the increasing number of retirees puts a strain on the nation's economy as resources must be allocated to support their healthcare and pension needs. Overall, an ageing population can lead to a decline in economic growth and place a burden on the working-age population.

    Explanation
    The sudden population growth can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the rapid increase during and after the Industrial and Agricultural Revolution led to advancements in technology and increased food production, resulting in improved living conditions and longer life expectancy. This led to low death rates and high birth rates, contributing to population growth. Additionally, as more countries transitioned into more economically developed countries (MEDCs), they experienced improved healthcare systems and higher standards of living, leading to population growth. Overall, these factors combined to result in the sudden population growth observed.
