Age dependency ratio (dependents to working-age population)

Age dependency ratio is calculated as the ratio of dependents--the population under age 15 and above age 65--to the working-age population--those aged 15-64. For example, 0.7 means there are 7 dependents for every 10 working-age people. For more informati on, see Tables: WDI 2.1.
