Demand for home care services increased due to rising elderly population. This is a sign of which dimension?

Correct answer: Social dimension

Direct answer: Option B, the social dimension. The rise in elderly population is a change in demographic composition, especially age structure. Age structure influences people’s needs and therefore changes demand for services such as home care. This makes the example social and demographic. Option A, legal dimension, would require a law, regulation, licence or compliance issue; none is mentioned. Option B is correct because the stated reason is a population change. Option C, economic dimension, could describe income, prices, wages or purchasing power, but the question does not say that demand rose because of income or cost. Option D, technological dimension, would involve equipment, software or innovation; no such cause is given. Although home care is also a business service, the classification depends on the environmental factor causing the demand change. Exam cue: changes in population age or family structure usually indicate the social dimension.
