If a country's working-age population and dependent population are both 50 percent, which conclusion is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Working-age and dependent shares are equal

The working-age population and the dependent population are both given as 50 percent of the total population. Since the two percentages are equal, the two groups have equal shares. The dependency ratio, calculated as dependents divided by the working-age population and multiplied by 100, would be \(50/50\times100=100\). In simple terms, there are 100 dependents for every 100 working-age people, based on the stated percentages.

Option A is correct because it directly describes the equality of the two shares. The information does not tell us how the dependent group is divided between children and older people. Therefore, it cannot prove that there are no elderly people, nor can it show that one group is twice the other. Equal percentages also do not mean that each individual worker supports one particular dependent; they describe population proportions, not personal financial arrangements.
