Step-by-step explanation:
Yes the statement is True.
When life expectancy is higher, the responsibilities to take care of the person lingers on. A person can feed himself at the age of retirement. After that, he will be dependent upon the other members of the family and thus increase their responsibility of taking care of him. Short life expectancy means less family responsibility upon others. Family responsibilities include feeding of the dependent, getting him clothes, meeting his health care, fulfilling his other responsibilities. With the increased life expectancy, such family responsibilities also increases.
