If the elderly population is increasing, which type of government spending may rise?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pension and elderly health expenditure

Age structure tells planners how many people belong to different age groups. A larger elderly population often needs regular pensions, social-security support, medical treatment, medicines, and sometimes long-term or assisted care. These needs can increase public expenditure, although the exact amount depends on pension rules, health systems, and family support. The key point is that ageing changes the pattern of government priorities.

Option A is correct because pensions and elderly health expenditure are directly related to the size and needs of the older population. Primary education and child vaccination remain important, but they are mainly linked to the number of children, not specifically to population ageing. Sports competitions are not the main demographic spending consequence. Thus, option A best answers the question.
