In which situation can demand for health services rise despite a low population growth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the share of the elderly population is increasing

Direct answer: A is correct. A population growth rate describes how quickly the total population is changing, but it does not show the complete age composition of that population. If the proportion of elderly people increases, demand may rise for regular check-ups, medicines, treatment of long-term conditions, and other health services, even when the total population is growing slowly. A correctly focuses on age structure. B is wrong because an area with no residents has no resident demand for local services. C is not a suitable explanation: if every age group is declining, the statement gives no reason for rising demand. D is self-contradictory because zero need cannot produce increased demand. Memory cue: growth rate tells how fast population changes; age composition helps show what services people may need.
