If a country's child population is 22 percent, elderly population 18 percent, and working-age population 60 percent, which conclusion is most balanced?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The working-age group is largest but elderly dependency may also be important

The three percentages describe the whole population: 22 percent children, 18 percent elderly people, and 60 percent working-age people. Since 60 percent is the largest share, the working-age group is the main part of the population. However, the 18-percent elderly group is not negligible. It may create meaningful needs for pensions, health care, accessible services, and family support. The 22-percent child group also represents a continuing dependency need. Thus option A gives the most balanced conclusion.

This information does not justify saying that the country is completely youthful or contains only elderly people. Dependence has not disappeared because children and older people together make up 40 percent of the population. A simple dependency ratio, using these broad groups, would be approximately \(40/60\), or about 0.67 dependents per working-age person, though exact definitions can vary. The key point is that the working-age group is largest while elderly dependency remains important.
