If an area has a low growth rate but its elderly population is increasing, which planning need may rise?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Elderly health and care services

Direct answer: Option A is correct. A population’s growth rate tells how quickly its total size is changing, but it does not show the complete age structure. An area may have slow overall growth while the proportion or number of elderly people rises. Older people may need more medical check-ups, treatment for age-related conditions, accessible transport, safe housing, assistance in daily activities, and community or home-based care. Therefore planners must study both the growth rate and the age composition. Option A is correct because increasing elderly numbers can increase the need for health and care services. Option B is not the best answer because playgrounds mainly serve children and young people. Option C concerns water or power infrastructure, not the specific demographic need described. Option D is environmentally harmful and is unrelated to elderly care. Memory cue: growth rate shows how fast the total changes; age structure shows who needs which services.
