Dependency Ratio is a measure showing the number of dependents in the age group of 0-14 and over the age of 65 to the total population.

Dependency ratio is higher in India because:

  • India's youth population is relatively higher but the inability of educated youth to find jobs makes them depend on their working parents.
  • In India, old parents generally live with their children than they do elsewhere in the world and thus they are dependent on them for their basic requirements.
