Question
The ageing population trend in many countries is caused by a decreasing birth rate and a decreasing mortality rate. True or false?
A True
B False
Answer
A
Explanation:
The correct answer is A. An ageing population trend occurs when the proportion of older individuals increases, which is caused by a decreasing birth rate (fewer young people) and a decreasing mortality rate (people living longer). This combination leads to a higher average age in the population, making the statement true.
