Which option describes a consequence of care drain in a country?

• A. Care drain
• B. Spillover
• C. Co-production
• D. Family wage

Answer: (A)

Care drain describes the outflow of caregiving capacity from a country as people migrate to provide care elsewhere, so the country loses its ability to meet domestic caregiving needs. Describing the consequence of care drain with the same term fits best because the situation the country faces is precisely a drain of care resources. The other concepts refer to different ideas: spillover means indirect effects in other areas, co-production is about citizens helping to produce services, and family wage is about a standard income level, none of which names the direct loss of care capacity that care drain describes.
