Between 15-60 years

Below 15 years

Correct Answer

Above 60 years

A greater proportion of population above 60 years represents an ageing population which requires more expenditure on health care facilities. Similarly high proportion of young population would mean that the region has a high birth rate and the population is youthful.
One of the primary reasons for an aging population is increased life expectancy. Advances in healthcare, improved living conditions, and access to better nutrition have led to people living longer.
In aging populations, birth rates tend to be lower, which means that there are fewer young people entering the population. This demographic imbalance can have consequences for the labor force and economic growth.
An aging population also represents a significant cohort of individuals who may need support to maintain their quality of life. This includes social engagement, access to recreational activities, and programs to combat social isolation.
