The population of a place below 15 years is 89,43,587. The population of the same place of 15-59 age group is 1,23,10,968 and the population of 60 years and above is 14,77,379. Calculate: i) Child dependency ratio ii) Old dependency ratio iii) Total dependency ratio.
Answers
Answer:
Answer: The act gave the government the power to imprison any person suspected of terrorist activities for a maximum period of two years without trial. It also provided for preventive indefinite detention and also arrest without a warrant. Other provisions were juryless trials for forbidden political acts.
Answer:
i)89,43,587 : 1,23,10,968, i.e, approx. 73 : 100
ii)14,77,379 : 1,23,10,968, i.e, approx. 12 : 100
iii)1,04,20,966 : 1,23,10,968, i.e. approx. 85 : 100
Explanation:
i)The children dependency ratio is the ratio of dependent population below the age of 15 to the working population, i.e, population between 15 - 59 years of age, which is 89,43,587 : 1,23,10,968. On further calculations the ratio is decreased to approximately 73 : 100. Which means there are 73 childern below the age of 15 per every 100 of the working population.
ii)The old dependency ratio is the ratio of dependent population above 60 years of age to the working population, i.e, population between 15 - 59 years of age, which is 14,77,379 : 1,23,10,968, this ratio is reduced to approximately 12 : 100 which means that there are 12 old people, i.e, people above the age of 60 per every 100 of the people between 15 - 59 years of age.
iii) The total dependency ratio is the ratio of sum of the dependent population below the age of 15 and the dependent population above the age of 60 to the working population, i.e, population between the ages of 15 and 59. Which is
(Population below 15 + Population above 60) : Population from age group 15 - 59 = (89,43,587 + 14,77,379) : 1,23,10,968
= 1,04,20,966 : 1,23,10,968
= aaprox. 85 : 100
