If population growth is slow but the elderly population is increasing in an area, which service demand may rise?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Healthcare and social support

The direct answer is A: healthcare and social support. Population size alone does not tell us every service need; age composition is also important. If the proportion or number of elderly people increases, the area may need more accessible medical care, regular check-ups, medicines, rehabilitation, assistance with daily activities, and social-support services. Slow overall population growth does not remove these needs because the age structure is changing. A is correct because healthcare and support are closely connected with the needs of an ageing population. B is wrong because primary schools mainly serve young children, and the question describes growth in the elderly group. C is wrong because playgrounds may be useful generally but are not the main service indicated by the stated demographic change. D is wrong because ports are related to transport and trade, not specifically to ageing. Memory cue: when age composition changes, plan services for the changing age group.
