What is the purpose of a dependency ratio?
"A dependency ratio is the measure of the population of the people categorized as ""dependents"", these being people who are unable to cope living on their own without assistance. These people would include young children or elderly no longer capable or work. Keeping the statistic of this ratio up to date is important in raising concern or awareness of what society can supply to the current demand that a particular population needs. Certain countries for example have a high dependency ration, which is bad considering there are fewer citizens capable of working and providing for society."
