    Correct Answer
    A. There are more educated women in the world
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that there are more educated women in the world. This could be a cause for low birth rates because educated women tend to prioritize their careers and delay starting a family. They may also have access to better family planning methods and choose to have fewer children. Additionally, education often leads to increased awareness about the financial and emotional responsibilities of raising children, which may deter couples from having larger families.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "It is caused by low birth rate." This means that the aging population is a result of a decrease in the number of births. When the birth rate is low, there are fewer young people entering the population, leading to a higher proportion of older individuals. This can have significant social and economic implications, such as increased healthcare and pension costs, as well as a potential decline in the workforce.
