A country's old-age dependency ratio is rising rapidly. Which combination would be the most relevant policy response for the government?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pension reform, health services and long-term care

The governing concept is the old-age dependency ratio: the number of older dependents relative to the working-age population. When this ratio rises, a comparatively smaller working-age group must support more people who may require pensions, medical treatment, assistance with daily activities and long-term care. Option A is therefore the most relevant and comprehensive response because it addresses income security, health needs and continuing care. Option B and option C are valuable policies in their own contexts, but they mainly serve children rather than older dependents. Option D does not directly solve the fiscal, medical or care pressures created by population ageing.
