Solution

The correct option is A dependency load

The total dependency load ratio is based on a combination of the youth population ratio with the senior citizen population ratio. Then it is averaged to every 100 workers. The youth demographic dependency is based on the ratio of the youth population to the working population. The senior demographic dependency ratio is based on the senior population to the working-age population. The dependency load is based on age and not employment status. It does not take into account young people and seniors who are working. The ratio also does not account for people who are of a working age but who are unemployed.
