If both the 0 to 14 and 60-plus age groups are large, what type of pressure may increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure from dependent population

Children aged 0 to 14 and people above 60 are commonly treated as dependent groups because many of them are outside the main working-age population. Children require support for food, schooling, health, and protection. Older people may need pensions, medical treatment, assistance with daily activities, and long-term care. If both groups are large, a comparatively smaller working-age population may have to support needs on both sides of the age structure.

This can increase the dependency burden on families, workers, public budgets, and social institutions. Therefore option A, pressure from the dependent population, is correct. A large child and elderly population does not mean that only the labour force is excessive. It does not directly determine mineral production or land availability. The exact dependency level depends on the proportions and on employment, income, and social-support systems.
