If ages 0 to 14 form 22 percent and ages 60 and above form 18 percent, what are the working-age share and total dependent share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 60 percent and 40 percent

For this calculation, children aged 0–14 and older people aged 60 or above are treated as dependent groups. Their combined share is \(22+18=40\) percent. The working-age share is the part remaining from the full population of 100 percent, so it is \(100-40=60\) percent.

Thus the country has 40 percent dependents and 60 percent in the working-age category under the age grouping used in the question. The order requested is working-age share first and total dependent share second, giving 60 percent and 40 percent. Option A matches this result. The calculation is a simple partition of the population; it does not require a separate assumption about employment, because working-age people may not all actually be employed.
