If people aged 60 and above form 22 percent of a country's population, which policy need may become more important?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Expansion of pensions and elderly health services

When people aged 60 and above make up 22 percent of the population, older persons form a large share of society. This age structure can increase the need for regular medical care, medicines, accessible facilities, long-term care, income support, and pensions. It may also require policies that help older people remain safe, healthy, and socially included.

Child vaccination and primary schools remain important in every society, but they do not address the main additional pressure indicated by this age distribution. Likewise, adolescent sports facilities serve a younger group and cannot replace old-age security or geriatric care. The most relevant policy response is therefore to expand pensions and elderly health services. Hence option B is correct, while “only” should be understood as identifying the priority rather than excluding all other policies.
