If the growth rate is low but the elderly population is increasing in an area, towards what will planning shift?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Healthcare and social security

The direct answer is C. Planning must respond to the age composition of the population, not only to its total growth rate. If the proportion or number of elderly people rises, the area may need accessible medical care, regular health services, medicines, support for people with limited mobility, pensions and other forms of social security. Option C is correct because these services address the likely needs of an ageing population. Option A is wrong: a low growth rate does not mean that all children’s schools should close, and children may still need education. Option B is wrong because mining is an economic activity, not a general response to population ageing. Option D is wrong because migration may still occur and should be considered in planning. Memory cue: ageing population means greater priority for care, security and health services.
