If the working-age group declines while the elderly group increases, which pressure may rise?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Elderly dependency pressure

The elderly dependency burden compares the number of older people with the population that is generally of working age. If the working-age group becomes smaller while the elderly group becomes larger, each worker may have to support a greater relative number of older dependants. Thus option A, increased elderly dependency pressure, is the most likely result.

This pressure can appear in several connected areas, such as pensions, public health services, long-term care, and government budgets. The question does not say that the number of children is rising, so child school demand, infant vaccination, and child nutrition are not the direct conclusions. The exact burden depends on employment, retirement ages, productivity, family support, and migration, but the age-structure change clearly points toward a greater old-age dependency challenge.
