Question

Calculate the dependency ratio of a district whose population in three broad categories are given below:

Children (0 to 14 years) : 6,000
Adult (15 to 59 years) : 30,000
Old (60 years and more) : 3,000​

Answer 1

Answer:

30 %

Explanation:

Dependency ratio = [(6000 + 3000)/30,000]*100%

                              = [9000/30,000]*100%

                              = 30 %
