Why can out-migration of working-age people raise dependency ratio in the source region?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the share of dependent groups rises relatively

Correct answer: A. The dependency ratio compares people usually outside the working-age group, especially children and older persons, with people of working age. When many working-age residents leave a source region, the number of workers falls. Even if the numbers of children and older persons do not change, they become a larger proportion of the remaining population. This can increase the relative burden on the remaining workers, families, and public services. A is correct because it describes this change in population composition. B is wrong because migration does not make the birth rate always zero. C is wrong because the question says working-age people leave, not all elderly people. D is wrong because a census may still be conducted; data collection is not the cause of the ratio change. Memory cue: fewer workers with the same dependants means a higher dependency ratio.
