If the number of children is very high relative to the working-age population, which ratio may increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Child dependency ratio

The child dependency ratio compares the number of children with the population of working age. It indicates how many children depend economically or socially on each group of working-age people. If children form a very large share while the working-age population is relatively small, the numerator of this ratio rises relative to its denominator.

Therefore, the child dependency ratio may increase, making option A correct. This can place greater demands on families, schools, health services, and future employment planning. The elderly dependency ratio concerns older people, so it cannot be inferred merely from a large child population. Sex ratio measures the relationship between males and females, and literacy ratio measures education, so neither directly answers the question.
