  • Percentages shown are computed against a base of 100. For example, Niger’s world-leading 105.1% total ADR represents a ratio of 105.1/100, which indicates that the country has nearly 105.1 dependents (children and elders) for every 100 working-age residents.
  • The Old category is the ration of older dependents (those over the age of 64) compared to the working-age (15-64) population.
  • The Young category is the ratio of younger dependents (those younger than 15) compared to the working-age (15-64) population.
