If the birth rate is falling but the elderly population is increasing, what will be the planning priority?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Elderly healthcare and social security

Direct answer: C is correct. A falling birth rate gradually changes the age structure: the share of young children may become smaller, while the share of older people may rise as existing adults age and people live longer. Planning must therefore respond to the needs of the growing elderly group. Older people may require regular medical check-ups, medicines, treatment for chronic conditions, assistance, pensions, and other forms of social protection. Option C addresses both healthcare and economic or social support. A is not the main priority because primary schools serve young children, not the increasing elderly population. B may be useful for recreation but cannot meet major health and security needs. D is wrong because migration should be measured, not ignored. Memory cue: fewer births plus more older people means ageing-related services become important.
