If a country has an ageing age structure, which area may face greater pressure in the future?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pension and health systems

An ageing age structure means that older people form a relatively large share of the population. As this group grows, governments and families may need to provide more retirement income, medical treatment, medicines, accessible services, and long-term care. The working-age population may also face a greater responsibility for financing pensions and public health services.

For this reason, pension and health systems are likely to experience greater pressure, so option A is correct. Primary schools, child nutrition, and infant vaccination remain important, but they are most directly influenced by the size of the child population. They are not the main pressure identified by an ageing structure. The question asks for the most likely broad future effect, not for a service that disappears completely.
