Demographic age quotients: The long-term trend in an international comparison

Author

Abstract

The demographic ageing process is not limited to countries with a high standard of living. The old age dependency ratio (the ratio of persons 65 years and older to the economically active population between 15 and 64 years) is also rising in Africa, for example. However the ratio is lower there than in the rich countries.
