If the death rate has fallen greatly but the elderly population is increasing in a region, what should be the new policy focus?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Elderly care, health security, and social support

The direct answer is A. A lower death rate often means that people are living longer, so the number and share of older people may rise. Policy must therefore prepare health services, regular medical support, medicines, accessible facilities, pensions or other social-security measures, and care for daily needs. This does not mean that every older person is dependent; it means planning should respond to changing age structure. Option B is too narrow: increasing births alone does not provide care for people who are already elderly and may create new pressures. Option C is wrong because a census and other data are needed to measure ageing and plan services. Option D is wrong because migration can also affect the size and age composition of a region. Memory cue: longer lives require age-sensitive planning.
