If 28 percent of a country's population is aged 0-14 and 62 percent is aged 15-59, what is the approximate youth dependency ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 45.2

The youth dependency ratio compares the number of children with the working-age population. Using the percentages provided, the calculation is \(28 \div 62) \times 100\). This gives approximately \(45.16\), which rounds to about 45.2. It means that there are roughly 45 children for every 100 people in the stated working-age group.

The denominator must be the working-age percentage, 62, rather than the total population or the child percentage. Thus 62.0 is not the ratio, and 34.0 does not result from the required division. Option D is also too high. Therefore option A, 45.2, follows from the standard formula and the supplied age-group values.
