if there are large numbers of people under 15 and over 65, what is the main challenge it creates for a country?\neconomically, its costly to provide resources to them since very little is contributed by them economically.\neconomically, its costly to provide jobs to them since very little is contributed economically.\nsocially, the groups challenge a country to provide enough schools and social programs for them.\nsocially, the groups challenge the people that fall between the two age groups to provide recreational programs
Answer
Explanations: Let's analyze each option:
- Option 1: People under 15 are typically in school or not of working age, and people over 65 are often retired. Economically, they consume resources (e.g., education for the young, healthcare for the elderly) but do not contribute much (if at all) to the economic output through labor. This creates a cost - resource imbalance.
- Option 2: People under 15 are not in the labor force (they are too young to work), and providing jobs to them is not a relevant challenge. People over 65 may be retired, so job - provision is not the main economic challenge for this group.
- Option 3: While providing schools (for the young) is a part of the challenge, the economic cost aspect (related to resource provision) is more fundamental. Social programs are also related to economic costs (funding these programs).
- Option 4: Recreational programs are a much less significant challenge compared to the economic cost of providing essential resources (like food, shelter, healthcare, education) to non - economically contributing groups.
Answer:
Economically, it’s costly to provide resources to them since very little is contributed by them economically.
