Which situation is developing in a country where the proportion of elderly people is steadily increasing?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population ageing

When the proportion of elderly people increases steadily, the population is undergoing population ageing. This means that older age groups are becoming a larger share of the total population. The change may occur because people live longer due to improved health care and living conditions, because fewer children are being born, or because younger people migrate away. Population ageing is therefore a change in the age composition, not simply a change in total population size.

The correct answer is population ageing. A larger elderly share does not indicate expansion of the child population or high infant births. Urbanization may influence age patterns, but it is not the name of this demographic process and cannot by itself explain the observation. To identify ageing, we focus on the rising proportion of older people over time. Thus option B follows directly from the information given.
