If the number of children in a population is declining, which demand may decrease after some years?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Demand for primary schools

A fall in the number of children affects service demand with a time lag. When fewer babies are born, the smaller birth cohorts eventually reach the age at which they enter primary school. After several years, fewer pupils may therefore need primary classrooms, teachers, textbooks, and new school buildings. Existing schools may have more available places, although local migration and changes in enrolment can modify the exact result. The question asks about a likely decline in demand, not an immediate change on the day fertility falls.

Option A is correct because primary-school demand is directly linked to the number of children in the relevant age group. Demand for elderly health care, pensions, and long-term elderly care is linked mainly to the size and ageing of the older population, not directly to a current decline in children. Those services may rise later as population ageing advances, but that is a different demographic effect. The phrase “after some years” correctly recognises the delayed impact of fertility decline.
