In an ageing population, which age group has a relatively high proportion?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 60 years and above

An ageing population is one in which older persons make up a relatively large share of the total population. In the school-level classification used here, the group aged 60 years and above represents the elderly population. A larger share of this group usually results from longer life expectancy, lower fertility, or both. It is the proportion of age groups, rather than merely the total number of people, that identifies an ageing population.

Therefore, option C is correct: 60 years and above has a relatively high proportion. The groups from 0 to 5 years and 0 to 14 years are child groups; their high share would instead suggest a young population. The 15-to-19 group is only a narrow adolescent interval and cannot represent the whole elderly population. Age thresholds may vary slightly across statistical systems, but within the categories given, 60 years and above is clearly the appropriate choice.
