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.

Certain countries for example have a high dependency ration, which is bad considering there are fewer citizens capable of working and providing for society."
What does a higher dependency ratio mean?
In demography, a dependency ratio is usually the ratio of the non-productive members of the population to the productive members. This is because the econmic well-being of the whole population - the productive and non-productive members - depends on the value produced by the productive part. The non-productive population comprises the youngsters (aged up to 15), and the older people (aged 65 and over) while the productive part is the population aged 15 to 64. The ratio is usually expressed as a percentage. A high ratio means that each working person is, effectively supporting, more people.
