Age dependency

People outside working age per 100 of working age. Bank. Pair: [gus-dependency].

The file

Age-dependency ratio, % of working-age population. Bank.

The indicator

SP.POP.DPND. A different age cut than Demographic dependency (GUS).

What the numbers show

Demographic dependency (GUS)

Non-working-age per 100 working-age. Ageing in one ratio.

The file

The indicator

Working age is the GUS definition, not the Bank’s 15–64. Do not average with ILO.

What the numbers show

The ratio is rising (about 61→72). Ageing hits both the numerator and the denominator.
