In a country, people aged 0 to 14 form 40 percent and those aged 60 and above form 5 percent. Which pressure is most likely to be greater in this age structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure on child education and health services

Children aged 0 to 14 make up 40 percent of the population, which is a very large young share. People over 60 make up only 5 percent, so the elderly share is comparatively small. This structure creates especially strong demand for schools, teachers, nutrition, vaccination, and child health services. Therefore, option B is correct.

A large child population means many families and public authorities must provide education and health support at the same time. It may also create future demand for skills and employment when these children grow up. The figures do not point mainly to elderly pensions or long-term elderly care, because the older group is small. They also do not justify saying that only elderly dependency exists. The main immediate pressure is child dependency and the services needed by children.
