If You Were to Discuss and Analyze the Social Changes

question 80

Multiple Choice

If you were to discuss and analyze the social changes affecting the future of business, which of the following statements should be part of that conversation?

• A) It is becoming more difficult to provide expert pre-natal care for women, resulting in a negative impact on the future of live births.
• B) The increase in older citizens may impact an employee's take-home pay if programs such as Social Security will need to be funded at a higher level. Skilled employees may require higher wages to make up the shortfall.
• C) With less money to spend, older Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 will no longer require transportation, entertainment, education, and lodging. This is highly likely to negatively impact these industries.
• D) Business taxes are very likely to spike (rise quickly) due to the fact that welfare laws are making it relatively easy for single parents to stay home with their children, rather than find jobs. Taxes will have to support parents choosing the stay-at-home lifestyle.
