If ages 0 to 14 form 18 percent and ages 60 and above form 17 percent, what is the working-age share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 65 percent

The age groups listed in the question together make up the non-working-age share used in this calculation. Children aged 0 to 14 account for 18 percent, and people aged 60 and above account for 17 percent. Their combined share is \(18+17=35\) percent. Since all age groups together equal 100 percent, the remaining working-age share is \(100-35=65\) percent. Therefore option C is correct.

This calculation assumes that the population is divided into only these three broad groups: children, working-age people, and older people. It also treats the categories as non-overlapping, as they normally are in such a percentage question. Option A would leave 45 percent unexplained, while 60 and 75 percent do not follow from subtracting the two dependent groups from the total. The answer is therefore 65 percent.
