Changes in the age structure of the national population distribution reflect the past trends in fertility and mortality . They also reflect the of migration where international migration is significant.

Decline in Fertility  : The reduces the number of birth and its continuity results into declining proportion of children with lowering the numbers in the age structure of the population in the long run , The declining fertility levels are unlikely to rise again to the high levels common until recently are likely to become rare over the course of the twenty first century

Decline mortality in old age group : Contributes an increase in the number of the elder people .Even among the elder people age  structure the oldest- old increase  due to decreasing mortality  rates in group.
