If the elderly population is rising despite a low birth rate, what could be the focus of population policy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Health security and elderly care

The direct answer is A: policy should focus on health security and elderly care. A low birth rate means fewer babies are being born relative to the population, while a growing elderly population increases the need for regular medical care, medicines, support for chronic conditions, safe living arrangements, social security, and sometimes long-term care. Policy should respond to the actual age composition rather than using only the total growth rate. Option B is meaningless because a birth rate is a demographic measure, not an area measurement. C is wrong because ignoring migration would hide part of population change and would not meet elderly people’s needs. D is wrong because schools may need adjustment, but closing all schools does not provide health or social support. Memory cue: population ageing shifts planning toward care, security, and accessible health services.
