A high proportion of elderly people can increase which type of public need?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Health care and pensions

When elderly people make up a large share of the population, public services must respond to their particular needs. Older adults may require regular medical check-ups, treatment for chronic conditions, medicines, rehabilitation, long-term care, and support for daily activities. Many may also need pensions or other forms of social security after leaving the labour force. These needs can require sustained public spending and trained care workers.

Primary schools, playgrounds, and infant vaccination mainly serve younger age groups. They remain important in any society, but they are not the needs most directly increased by a high elderly proportion. Therefore, health care and pensions are the most suitable answer. Option C links the age structure to the two major public responsibilities associated with population ageing.
