Solution

The correct option is C Working
  • The age-group, which contributes to the growth of the national income, is 15-59 (in some cases the upper limit is more), which is also called working age).
  • The working age population is defined as those aged 15 to 64. The basic indicator for employment is the proportion of the working age population aged 15-64 who are employed.
  • The age dependency ratio is the ratio of dependents (people younger than 15 or older than 64) to the working-age population.
  • This indicator is measured as a percentage of population.
