population pyramid:

Dependency ratios:Dependency ratios are a measure of the age structure of a population. They

relate the number of individuals that are likely to be economically "dependent" on the support of

others. Dependency ratios contrast the ratio of youths (ages 0-14) and the elderly (ages 65+) to the

number of those in the working-age group (ages 15-64). Changes in the dependency ratio provide an

indication of potential social support requirements resulting from changes in population age structures.

Median age:This entry is the age that divides a population into two numerically equal groups; that

is, half the people are younger than this age and half are older. It is a single index that summarizes the

age distribution of a population. Currently, the median age ranges from a low of about 15 in Niger and

Uganda to 40 or more in several European countries and Japan. See the entry for "Age structure" for

the importance of a young versus an older age structure and, by implication, a low versus a high . .

Population growth rate:The average annual percent change in the population, resulting from a

surplus (or deficit) of births over deaths and the balance of migrants entering and leaving a country.

The rate may be positive or negative. The growth rate is a factor in determining how great a burden

would be imposed on a country by the changing needs of its people for infrastructure (e.g., schools,

hospitals, housing, roads), resources (e.g., food, water, electricity), and jobs. Rapid population growth
