If the number of people aged above 60 increases, which process may this be associated with?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population ageing

Population ageing means that older people form an increasing number or share of the total population. If the number of people above 60 rises, the country may be experiencing this process. Ageing can occur because people live longer, health conditions improve, fertility remains low, or younger groups become smaller. The important idea is not simply that older individuals exist, but that their relative importance in the population is increasing. Therefore, option A, population ageing, is correct.

The other choices refer to different matters. A child population explosion would mean a rapid increase in children, not older adults. A fall in literacy is an education-related change and does not define an increase in the elderly population. Land degradation concerns the quality of land and is unrelated to age composition. A growing elderly group may also increase the need for pensions, health services, and care, but those are consequences of ageing rather than the name of the process itself.
