If the working-age population is small and the dependent population is large, what type of burden may increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Dependency burden

The dependency burden describes the pressure placed on the working-age population by people who are usually not in the main working ages. Children and older adults may need support for food, education, health care, pensions, housing, or daily care. If there are relatively few workers and many dependents, each worker may support more people directly or through taxes and social systems.

Option A is correct because this situation raises the dependency burden or dependency ratio. The other choices refer to unrelated ideas: seismic burden concerns earthquakes, climatic burden concerns environmental conditions, and river erosion concerns the wearing away of land by flowing water. A high dependency burden can affect household savings, public budgets, and the amount available for investment, although its effects depend on employment and social policies.
