In which situation can the population growth rate be low while demand for services still rises?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the base population is large or a particular age group is increasing

Direct answer: Option A is correct. A growth rate is a relative measure, usually expressed as a percentage, while service demand depends on actual numbers and the needs of different age groups. A large population can add many people even when its percentage growth is small. For example, a small percentage applied to a very large base can represent a substantial number of people. In addition, a growing group of children, working-age people, or elderly people can increase demand for particular services. Option A is correct because both the base size and age composition matter. Option B is wrong because no population creates no population-based service demand. Option C is not a demographic explanation. Option D is not a meaningful population situation for planning. The correct approach is to examine the growth rate together with population size and age structure. Memory cue: percentage tells the rate; the base and age groups determine the practical demand.
