If a country's elderly population is rising but multigenerational co-residence remains strong, what effect on social care is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Families may provide some elderly care and partly reduce pressure on formal services

Population ageing can increase the need for care, but the amount of pressure on formal services depends partly on household organisation. In a multigenerational household, adult children or other relatives may help with daily tasks, supervision, transport and emotional support. This informal care can meet some needs and partly reduce the demand placed on hospitals, residential facilities or paid caregivers.

Option A is the most accurate because it says “some” care and “partly” reduces pressure. Family support does not remove the need for government health and social services, and it does not make the old-age dependency ratio zero. Nor does it ensure that every older person becomes financially independent. The effect is possible and conditional, not universal or complete.
