If population growth is slow but the elderly population is increasing, which service demand will rise?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Healthcare and social support

Direct answer: Option A is correct. The total population growth rate does not tell us everything about service needs; the age composition is also important. If the elderly population increases, more people may need regular medical care, medicines, assistance with daily activities, social protection and sometimes pension-related support. Slow overall growth does not remove these age-specific needs. Option A correctly combines healthcare and social support. Option B is not the best answer because primary-school demand is mainly linked to the number of young children, which is not stated to be increasing. Option C is unrelated to the special needs created by an ageing population. Option D concerns a particular economic activity and cannot be inferred from population age structure. Memory cue: young populations raise school demand, while ageing populations raise health and support demand.
