If the growth rate is low but the share of the elderly population is increasing, what should population planning emphasise?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Elderly health and care services

The correct answer is B: elderly health and care services. A low growth rate describes the pace at which the total population is changing, but it does not describe the needs of every age group. If the share of elderly people rises, planning must respond to their health care, regular medical support, accessibility, social security and long-term care needs. Option B is correct because it directly matches the changing age structure. Option A may be useful for children and young people but does not address the main demographic change described. Option C is unrelated to the specific service need. Option D is wrong because stopping the census would remove valuable information rather than solve a planning problem. The key lesson is that planners must consider both population growth and age composition. Memory cue: growth tells how fast the population changes; age structure tells what services people need.
