pls mark me brainlist

Explanation:

The dependency ratio is a measure of the number of dependents aged zero to 14 and over the age of 65, compared with the total population aged 15 to 64. This demographic indicator gives insight into the number of people of non-working age, compared with the number of those of working age. It is also used to understand the relative economic burden of the workforce and has ramifications for taxation. The dependency ratio is also referred to as the total or youth dependency ratio.

Answer 2

Given:

Assertion (A)- Large size population in age group of 15 to 59 indicate large size Independence population

• An age-population ratio of those who are not in the labor force ( the population from 0 to 14 and 65+ age groups) and those who are  in the labor force (the population from 15 to 64 age group).
