If population ageing is increasing in a country but healthy life expectancy is also rising rapidly, which outcome is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The economic burden of ageing may be lower than expected

Population ageing means that the proportion of older people is rising, which can increase spending on pensions, health care, and support. However, chronological age alone does not show how many people need intensive help. Healthy life expectancy measures how many years people can expect to live in relatively good health. If it rises rapidly, many older adults may remain active, independent, and able to work or participate in family and community life for longer.

Therefore, option A is the possible outcome. The economic burden may still increase, but it can be lower than expected because dependency is not identical to being old. Option B wrongly treats every older person as immediately dependent. Option C is too extreme because health services remain necessary, and option D incorrectly dismisses the importance of age structure.
