If the share of people aged 60 years and above continues to rise, what is the most appropriate conclusion?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The population is ageing

A rising share of people aged 60 years and above means that older people make up an increasing part of the total population. This is called population ageing. It is a statement about the age composition, not automatically about one particular cause. Ageing may be associated with lower fertility, longer life expectancy, improved health care, or migration patterns that change the relative size of age groups.

Therefore, option B is the appropriate conclusion: the population is ageing. The information does not prove that the birth rate is rising; in many ageing populations, fertility is low. It also does not show that the child population is increasing or that the population is becoming younger. The conclusion follows directly from the increasing proportion of older persons.
