If a large number of retired people begin settling in a region, which change in age structure is most likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The relative share of the elderly group will increase

Age structure shows how a population is divided among children, working-age people and older people. Retired people generally belong to the older age group, even though retirement age and personal circumstances can vary. If many retired people settle in a region, they add directly to the number of older residents. Unless an even larger group of younger people arrives at the same time, the elderly group will form a larger share of the regional population.

This does not mean that the child group becomes largest, that the working-age population doubles, or that fertility must rise. Migration of retired people mainly changes the composition by increasing the relative proportion of older persons. Therefore, option B is the most likely answer. The effect may also increase demand for health, housing and care services, but the central age-structure change is the larger elderly share.
