Which age groups are generally considered important parts of the dependent population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0 to 14 years and 60 years and above

Dependent population usually refers to age groups that are less likely, on average, to be economically active. In the classification used here, these groups are children aged 0 to 14 years and older people aged 60 years and above. Children generally require support for care and education, while many older people may need support after leaving the labor force. Therefore, option B identifies the important dependent age groups.

Age-based dependency is a statistical generalization, not a statement about every individual. Some older people continue working, and some younger people may work, so actual economic dependence varies. The 15-to-59 group is generally treated as the working-age population in this classification, not the dependent population. The narrower adult ranges in the other choices omit major dependent groups. Hence option B is correct.
