If ages 0 to 14 form 26 percent and ages 60 and above form 9 percent, what is the working-age share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 65 percent

Children and elderly people are the two dependent groups in this classification. The working-age share is the portion remaining after both dependent shares are removed from the full population. Since the full population equals 100 percent, adding the two given dependent percentages and subtracting from 100 gives the answer.

Children aged 0 to 14 form 26 percent, and people aged 60 and above form 9 percent. Their combined dependent share is \(26+9=35\) percent. Thus, the working-age share is \(100-35=65\) percent. Option C is therefore correct. The calculation assumes the age groups are mutually exclusive and together cover the whole population.
