In a country, people aged 0 to 14 form 30 percent, those aged 15 to 59 form 60 percent, and those aged 60 and above form 10 percent. What is the most appropriate interpretation of this age structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The working-age group is the largest and dependent groups together form 40 percent

The figures divide the population into three age groups: children are 30 percent, the working-age group is 60 percent, and older people are 10 percent. Since 60 percent is the largest share, the working-age group is the largest. Children aged 0–14 and older people aged 60 and above are treated in this question as dependent groups. Their combined share is \(30+10=40\) percent. Thus, 40 percent are in dependent age groups and 60 percent are in the working-age group.

Option A is therefore the most appropriate interpretation. The elderly group is only 10 percent, so it is not the largest. Children form 30 percent, which is smaller than the 60 percent working-age group. Also, dependents clearly exist, so the statement that there are none is false. The structure suggests a substantial working-age population, although the exact economic dependency burden would require additional information about employment and participation.
