A population has 24 million people aged 0–14, 66 million aged 15–64, and 10 million aged 65 or older. What is its age-dependency ratio, expressed as the number of dependents per 100 people aged 15–64?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 51.5 dependents per 100 working-age people

The age-dependency ratio is the number of people aged 0–14 and 65 or older divided by the number aged 15–64, multiplied by 100. Here, dependents total 24 + 10 = 34 million. So the ratio is (34 ÷ 66) × 100 ≈ 51.5 dependents per 100 people aged 15–64.
