If population ageing is increasing rapidly in a country, which pressure on intergenerational relations is most likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Greater financial and care responsibility for elderly people on fewer working-age persons

Rapid population ageing changes the balance between people who may need support and those of working age who can provide income and care. If the number of elderly people grows relative to the working-age population, fewer workers may have to help finance pensions and public services. Families may also spend more time and money on medical care, daily assistance and emotional support for older relatives.

This pressure can be shared through government programmes, community services, savings and improved health systems, so it does not mean that every family will face the same burden. It also does not end children’s education or make working-age people independent of social security. Family roles and household arrangements may change as care needs rise. Therefore, option A best describes the likely intergenerational pressure: more financial and care responsibility may fall on a relatively smaller working-age group.
