If a country's working-age population is 50 percent and total dependent population is 50 percent, what is the total dependency ratio per 100 working-age persons?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 100

The governing concept is the total dependency ratio, calculated as total dependent population divided by working-age population, multiplied by 100. Here, dependents constitute 50 percent of the total population and the working-age group also constitutes 50 percent. Thus, total dependency ratio = (50 ÷ 50) × 100 = 100. This means that there are 100 dependents for every 100 working-age persons. Option C is correct. The value 50 in option A is merely the dependent share of the total population, not the ratio between dependents and workers. Options B and D do not follow from the stated equal shares.
