If the share of elderly people rises, which type of dependency may increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Elderly dependency

Elderly dependency refers to the pressure placed on the working-age population by older people who may no longer be in regular employment. It is commonly measured by comparing the elderly population with the working-age population, often using an age ratio. If the share of elderly people rises while the working-age group does not grow equally, this dependency is likely to increase.

Thus, option B is correct. The question concerns older people, so child dependency is not the relevant measure. Student dependency is not the standard age-structure category, and saying that no dependency rises ignores the direct effect of population ageing. A higher elderly share may increase needs for pensions, health care, and support, although the exact burden also depends on employment, retirement age, and social policy.
