Detailed Solution

The dependency ratio is the proportion of those who are economically engaged to those who are dependent.
The number of persons in each age group in a nation is referred to as the population's age composition. It is one of a population's most fundamental traits. A person's age significantly affects what he needs, purchases, does, and his ability to execute. As a result, significant drivers of a population's social and economic structure include the number and proportion of that population in the working age, elderly, and kid groups. The working population must supply the food, clothes, education, and healthcare the economically unproductive population requires. The dependency ratio measures the proportion of economically engaged persons and dependent age (between 15 and 60 years old). Because these groups are not producers, the proportion of children and the elderly impacts the dependence ratio.
