If the child population is declining while the elderly population is increasing, what shift in service demand is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: From school expansion toward elderly health and care

A changing age structure changes the kinds of services a country needs. When the number and share of children decline, the pressure to build many new primary schools, classrooms, and child-focused facilities may reduce over time, although existing schools and quality services remain important. When the elderly population grows, demand usually increases for medical care, chronic-disease management, pensions, accessible transport, and long-term or home-based care.

Thus, option A describes the likely shift from expanding school capacity toward elderly health and care services. Option B reverses the demographic change. The demand for all services does not end, because every age group still has needs. Sports facilities may remain useful, but they represent only one part of service demand and do not capture the central age-structure change. Therefore, A is the best answer.
