If the share of children declines while the working-age group grows, what happens to child dependency?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It may decline

Child dependency usually compares the number or share of children with the number of people in the working-age group. In a simple form, it can be represented as children divided by the working-age population, often multiplied by 100. If the child share decreases while the working-age group grows, the numerator becomes smaller relative to the denominator.

As a result, child dependency is likely to decline. This can reduce pressure on households and public services related to young children, although the eventual rise of elderly dependency must also be considered as the population ages. Therefore option A is correct. The word “may” is appropriate because exact dependency also depends on the chosen age limits and population data. It cannot become negative, and it need not equal elderly dependency.
