If ages 15 to 59 form 62 percent and total dependent groups form 38 percent of a country's population, which conclusion is appropriate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The working-age group is larger than the dependent groups

The working-age group makes up 62 percent of the population, while all dependent groups together make up 38 percent. Since 62 is greater than 38, the working-age population is larger than the combined population of children and older dependents. This is the direct comparison required by the data.

Therefore, option A is correct. The figures also give a simple dependency relationship: for every 38 dependent people in the stated shares, there are 62 people in the working-age group. This may provide a favourable demographic structure, but it does not guarantee economic success. Employment, productivity, education, health, and the ability of the economy to support workers also matter. The data do not show that all dependents are elderly.
