    People are living longer due to improvements in medicine and lifestyle changes like less smoking. Locally, there may be increased demand for healthcare services and fewer young workers. Nationally, there could be challenges funding state pensions and elderly care. To test the claim that many elderly people want more welfare spending, surveys could be conducted or focus groups formed to gather views on priorities directly from the elderly population. When considering government spending priorities between young and old, factors like economic impacts, health needs and social responsibilities must be weighed to determine the most supported approach.
