If the working-age group forms 66 percent, children 24 percent, and elderly people 10 percent, what is the total dependent share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 34 percent

Dependent groups are people commonly counted as children and older adults for age-dependency analysis. They are considered dependent because they are generally outside the main working-age group, although individuals may differ in their actual work or support needs. The dependent share is found by adding the child share and the elderly share, not by using the working-age percentage.

Children account for 24 percent and elderly people account for 10 percent. Therefore, the combined dependent share is \(24+10=34\) percent. The remaining 66 percent is the working-age group, and the complete distribution checks because \(34+66=100\). Thus option B is correct. Option A counts only children and leaves out the elderly, while option C incorrectly adds the working-age group to the dependents.
