  • TOTAL DEPENDENCY RATE:  The ratio of the elderly (ages 65 and older) plus the young (under age 15) to the population in the working ages (ages 15-64), (usually expressed as 100 (102) people aged 15-64 years).
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  The length of time for which data are collected, e.g. a specific day, month or year.
Formule TDR=[(P(0, 14)+P(65, +))/ P(15, 64)]*10^n

P(0, 14)=Resident population aged between 0 and 14 years old.
P(65, +)=Resident population with 65 and more years old.
P(15,64)=Resident population aged between 15 and 64 years old.
