In which situation can the child dependency ratio rise?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the birth rate is very high

The direct answer is A. The child dependency ratio compares the number of children, usually those below the working-age range, with the working-age population. When the birth rate is very high, many children are added to the population. If the working-age population does not increase equally fast, the number of children per working-age person rises, increasing the child dependency burden. Option B is wrong because zero births do not add new children, though the existing child population may remain for some time. Option C concerns old-age dependency rather than child dependency. Option D is the opposite of the condition needed for a child dependency ratio to rise. Memory cue: child dependency is driven mainly by the size of the child group relative to working-age people, not by the total population alone.
