      Solution

      β€’ The dependency ratio is an age-population ratio of those typically not in the labor force (the dependent part ages 0 to 14 and 65+) and those typically in the labor force (the productive part ages 15 to 64). β€’ It is used to measure the pressure on the productive population of a country. β€’ A high dependency ratio indicates that the working-age population and the overall economy face a greater burden in supporting the young and the elderly.
