Dependency Ratio

The ratio of the rough number of persons who are financially dependent on another person to the rough number of persons of working age, expressed as a percentage. The dependency ratio shows how easy or difficult it is for the persons of working age to take care of those who are not of working age. It is calculated thus:

Dependency ratio = (Number of persons under 15 + Number of persons over 65) / (Number of persons between 15 and 65) *100
