If a country has a large elderly population but a weak pension system, which social pressure may increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure on families for elderly care and financial support

A large elderly population creates care needs, and a weak pension system provides little public income to meet them. Many older people may then depend on relatives for money, housing, medical help, or daily assistance. Working-age family members may need to spend more time caring for them or transfer part of their earnings. This can create financial, emotional, and time pressure within households.

The pressure is not automatically removed by the size of the elderly population, because formal support is limited in the stated situation. It also does not imply that fertility will rise or that the working population will double. Choice A directly connects weak pensions with greater family responsibility for elderly care and support. The other choices describe effects that do not logically follow from an ageing population and inadequate pensions.
