People aged 60 years and above are generally placed in which category?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Elderly population

Age structure classifies people into broad age groups so that the population’s social and economic needs can be understood. People aged 60 years and above are generally placed in the elderly or older-person category in demographic descriptions. This classification is based on age, not on whether a person is still healthy, employed, or independent.

Therefore, option D is correct. Some people over 60 may continue working, so “elderly” does not mean that every person has stopped working. The child and adolescent categories refer to younger ages, while the working-age category normally covers the main economically active ages and does not specifically describe everyone aged 60 or above. The exact age limits can vary by statistical system, but 60-plus is commonly treated as an older population group.
