Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
A country's population is often grouped into three major types. Children under the age of 15 are often economically inactive and need food, clothes, education, and medical attention. People under 15-59 years are economically productive and physiologically reproducible during the working age. They are those who are employed. Those over 59 may be retired but can still be economically active. They could be volunteering their time but are not open to being hired. Because these groups are not producers, the proportion of children and the elderly impacts the dependence ratio.
The correct statement is that a country's population is often grouped into three major types.
