In which situation will planning for the elderly population become more necessary?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Birth rate is low and life expectancy rises

The correct answer is A. When the birth rate remains low, fewer children enter the population. When life expectancy rises, more people survive to older ages and live longer. Together, these trends can increase the proportion and number of elderly people, making planning for health care, pensions, accessible housing, transport, and social support more important. Option A includes both relevant demographic changes. Option B generally produces a larger young population and does not specifically describe ageing. Option C removes the group that needs planning. Option D is not the defining condition; migration may affect age structure, but the stated combination in A directly increases ageing pressure. Memory cue: fewer births plus longer lives usually means an ageing population.
