If a country has a large elderly population but strong health and long-term care systems, which effect is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Social pressure associated with ageing can be managed more effectively

A large elderly population normally increases demand for medical treatment, medicines, pensions, assisted living, long-term care, and social support. Strong health and long-term-care systems do not remove the fact of ageing, but they can make its effects easier to manage. They may provide preventive care, treatment, home support, trained caregivers, and organized social protection, reducing the burden on families and improving the quality of life of older people.

Option A is correct because ageing-related social and service pressures can be handled more effectively when institutions are prepared. Option B is wrong: good care does not immediately reduce the number of elderly people. Option C is mathematically impossible; elderly dependency is not automatically zero when services are strong. Option D does not follow from the information because care systems do not double the child population. The likely effect is better management, not disappearance, of ageing-related pressures.
