        living in overcrowded camps, such as the moria camp, with limtied food and shelter, up to 30 people living in a shelter made from a shipping container

- - - - Benefits: Each pensioner will receive a pension in an MEDC for 20 or more years. Additional benefits such as free bus passes, TV licences and winter fuel payments will be a large cost to the taxpayer.
      - Healthcare: Cost of residential care and healthcare can be expensive. Prescriptions, dental care, home help and hospital care can all cost a lot of money
      - Residential care: More money needs to be set aside to help look after the older people. Accommodation might need to be modified or special pensioner bungalows built that have been adapted for pensioner-use.
    - - Care for the aged: This will include medical services and expensive residential accommodation.
      - Family life: Hard decisions have to be taken about the best care for an elderly person. 65 year old children will end up caring for their 90 year old parents.
      - Medical advances: People live longer. However, many older people now struggle with late onset and degenerative illnesses such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
      - Loneliness: Often women live longer than their male partners.
- - - - Total population will start to rise because the death rates will start to fall (to around 18/19 per 1,000). Birth rates will remain high. Death rates fall due to:
        
        medical care will be improved (vaccinations, scientific improvements, doctors and new drugs);
        
        sanitation and water supplies will be much better;
        
        the quality and security of food will be improved;
        
        there will be a noticeable decrease in child mortality.
    - - Total population is rising rapidly. The gap between birth and death rates will narrow. Natural increase is high. Death rates will now remain low and steady (to 15 per 1,000) but birth rates will fall quickly (down to around 18 per 1,000). Birth rates fall due to:
        
        increased use of family planning methods;
        
        much lower infant mortality rates will mean that more children will survive and there is less need to have as many babies;
        
        increased opportunity for employment in factories means that fewer people (and children) are required to work on the land;
        
        changes to society put more desire on material possessions than large families;
        
        changes to equality mean that women are increasingly in the workforce and not ‘staying at home’ to look after the children.
    - - Total population is high and growing slowly. It is balanced by a low birth rate (15 per 1,000) and a low death rate (12 per 1,000). Contraception is widely available and there is a social desire to have smaller families.
    - - Total population is still high but starting to decline due to the birth rate falling (to 7 per 1,000) below the death rate (9 per 1,000). The population will start to fall as it is no longer replacing itself. The population is ageing and will gradually be dominated by older people.
