If the death rate has declined but the elderly population is increasing, what new planning need may arise?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Elderly health care and social security

The direct answer is A. A lower death rate can contribute to longer survival, and when the share or number of older people increases, the age composition of the population changes. Planning must then consider geriatric health care, regular medical support, accessible transport, social security, pensions, safe housing and assistance for people who need care. A is correct because these services respond directly to the needs of an ageing population. B may still be needed for children, but it does not address the new elderly-related requirement described in the question. C concerns flood management, and D concerns land conservation; neither follows from an ageing population. A lower death rate does not automatically mean every person is elderly, so planners should use age data before deciding services. Memory cue: changing age structure changes the type of services required.
