If people aged above 60 form only 5 percent of a country's population, which conclusion is most appropriate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The elderly share is relatively small

If people above 60 years form only 5 percent of the population, the most direct conclusion is that the elderly share is relatively small. This percentage gives information about one age group, not the complete age structure. To judge whether a country is ageing rapidly or whether elderly dependency is high, we would also need information about trends, the working-age population, and possibly the child population.

Thus option A is the safest and most appropriate conclusion. A 5 percent share does not prove that the country is definitely ageing rapidly, because ageing depends on change over time. It also does not by itself establish a high dependency ratio, and it certainly does not mean that children are absent. The supplied answer correctly avoids conclusions beyond the data.
