Answer 1

Answer:

1 Definition. Working population may refer to the population employed in a specified occupation or to the total population of a country who are employed and looking for employment. The term on a country level usually covers all people between 15 and 65 years old.

2 In WISH, the "dependent population" is defined as people ages 0-15 and 65-plus, while the "working age population" is defined as people between ages 16 and 64. This is consistent with the definition used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. There are three types of age dependency ratio.
