Higher employment opportunity for people.

Correct Answer:

An increase in the proportion of workers relative to non-workers in the population.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → An increase in the proportion of workers relative to non-workers in the population.

Demographic dividend refers to the economic advantage that comes when the working-age population is larger compared to dependents. This means there are more workers relative to non-workers, which can lead to greater productivity and growth if employment opportunities are available.
