Under which condition may a country need to spend relatively more resources on education than on elderly health care?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the child population share is very high

A country with a very high share of children must provide services for a large young population. It may need more classrooms, teachers, textbooks, transport, nutrition programmes, vaccinations, and school health services. These requirements can make education a major public spending priority. The pressure is especially strong when many children are entering school at the same time.

A large elderly population would instead raise the relative need for pensions, geriatric care, and treatment of chronic conditions. A very low birth rate generally reduces the number of children requiring new schools, while a majority above age 60 describes an ageing population rather than a child-heavy one. Thus option A gives the clearest condition for spending relatively more on education than on elderly health care.
