In which situation can a low birth rate and high life expectancy change social planning?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The need for elderly health care and pensions may increase

The direct answer is A. A low birth rate means fewer children are being added relative to the population, while high life expectancy means people tend to live longer. Together, these conditions can increase the proportion of older people over time. Social planning may therefore need more elderly health care, support services and pension arrangements. A says may increase, which is appropriately cautious because the exact outcome also depends on earlier age structure and migration. B is wrong because these demographic conditions cannot make the number of schools infinite; a lower birth rate may even change the pattern of school demand. C is wrong because changes in births and survival can alter the age composition of the population. D is wrong because neither birth rate nor life expectancy determines that migration will stop. Memory cue: fewer births plus longer lives can mean an ageing population.
