Hello Castor,

I am not a teacher, but since there is no one is there to give it a try, I will tke the risk:

'The result will be crises for the government, which face huge increase in their spending on social security and healthcare.'
It's a complex sentence with the main clause 'The result...government' as the main clause, and 'which...' as the subordinate or relative clause which is a postmodifier for the indirect object 'the government'. So as I see the structure is:
S+V+Od+Oi+C of Oi I hope it helps to start with something.Cheers

The subordinate or relative clause could itsef be analysed this way:
relative pronoun+V+C of do+dO+iO
