Question 21

If a population of a small island has 100 people aged 0-13, 300 people aged 14-65, and 100 people aged 66 and older, what is the dependency ratio?

Answer 21

The dependency ratio is calculated as the ratio of people aged younger than 14 and over 65—that is, those approximately outside of the workforce—to those aged 14 to 65 years old, who are more likely to be in the workforce. In this case, 100 people are too young for the workforce and 100 people are too old, resulting in a total of 200 people outside of the workforce. The ratio of people outside the workforce to those in the workforce is thus 200/300, which simplifies to 2/3 , or 0.66.
