Worldwide, the ratio of people under 65 to people over 65 will be 9:4 in 2050, so the dependency care ratio will be low despite Japan’s declining population.

In Japan’s region, the ratio of working-age teens and adults to elderly people will be 4:1 in 2050, so the cost of caring for the elderly population will be high.

The correct statement that accurately presents the information in the figure and its implications is:
In Japan's region, the ratio of working-age teens and adults to elderly people will be 4:1 in 2050, so the cost of caring for the elderly population will be high.
The statement that accurately presents the information in the figure and its implications is:
"In Japan’s region, the ratio of working-age teens and adults to elderly people will be 4:1 in 2050, so the cost of caring for the elderly population will be high."
To determine the correct answer, you need to carefully analyze the information presented in the figure and consider the implications.
The figure provides information about the ratio of people under 65 to people over 65 in 2050. The worldwide ratio is given as 9:4, indicating that there will be more people under 65 than over 65 globally.
However, the question specifically asks about the implications for Japan's declining population. The correct answer takes this into account by focusing on Japan's region. According to the figure, the ratio of working-age teens and adults to elderly people in Japan's region will be 4:1 in 2050. This means there will be four working-age people for every elderly person.
This high ratio indicates that the dependency care ratio will be high, meaning there will be a large number of elderly people relying on a smaller number of working-age individuals for care and support. As a result, the cost of caring for the elderly population in Japan's region is expected to be high.
Therefore, the correct statement that accurately presents the information in the figure and its implications is: "In Japan’s region, the ratio of working-age teens and adults to elderly people will be 4:1 in 2050, so the cost of caring for the elderly population will be high."
