TEACHER, TEACH ME The dependency ratio is an economic indicator of working-age to non-working-age people. It defines the number of people likely to depend on others for support. The dependency ratio is the total number of people too young or old to work, divided by the number of working-age people. Dependency ratios reveal the population breakdown of a country and how well dependents can be taken care of. Older citizens are becoming a larger percentage of the dependency ratio, while the percentage of children being born is falling. With every decade the dependency ratio grows higher. The higher the dependency ratio, the greater the burden. So how in today’s world, can the burden be lightened, rather than breaking our economical backs?
