Under which condition is the youth dependency ratio most likely to be highest?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The child share is very large and the working-age group relatively small

The governing concept is the youth dependency ratio, calculated as the population of children divided by the working-age population and multiplied by 100. This ratio becomes high when there are many children for each person of working age. Therefore, option A is correct: a very large child share combined with a relatively small working-age group produces the largest numerator-to-denominator relationship. Option B describes a situation more likely to increase old-age dependency, not youth dependency. Option C has the opposite structure, with many potential workers and few children. Option D removes children from the dependent category by placing them in working ages, so it cannot represent high youth dependency. A high ratio may increase demands for schooling, health care and child nutrition.
