Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement that best describes aging in Russia is that the death rate rose during political restructuring. This is supported by data that shows a significant increase in mortality rates during the 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union and economic restructuring. Mandatory retirement laws (A) and the life expectancy of males (B) may be relevant factors, but they do not provide the most accurate description of aging in Russia. Pensions in Russia are affected by changes in the economy (C), which contradicts the statement.
