In demography, a dependency ratio is usually the ratio of the non-productive members of the population to the productive members.

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.
