If a country has a large child-age population, in which sector may the government need to expand capacity first?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Schools and child health services

A large child-age population creates immediate demand for services used by children. The government may need more classrooms, schools, teachers, textbooks, nutrition programmes, vaccination, primary health centres, and safe spaces. Planning these services is important because a large number of children will enter school and require health support at similar times.

The correct policy is not to focus only on old-age services, because elderly pensions, retirement homes, and geriatric medicine serve a different demographic need. This does not mean older people should be ignored; it means that the first capacity pressure created by a large child population is usually in education and child health. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate answer. It directly connects population composition with public-service planning.
