In which situation will planning for the elderly population be needed along with a falling death rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When life expectancy rises and the share of elderly people increases

The direct answer is A. A falling death rate often means that people survive for longer, although the exact effect on age structure depends on the wider demographic situation. If life expectancy rises and the proportion of elderly people increases, governments and communities need to plan for pensions, health services, medicines, accessible transport, housing, and social support. Step by step, fewer deaths can allow more people to reach older ages; longer survival can increase the elderly share; a larger elderly share changes service requirements. A is correct because it connects lower mortality with longer life and an ageing population. B is wrong because if all elderly people leave, the local need for elderly services would not rise in the stated way. C is wrong because zero births and deaths alone do not tell us the age composition. D is wrong because an area with no population has no elderly population to plan for. Memory cue: longer lives can change the age structure, not just the total number.
