The dependency ratio is defined as the ratio of non-working people to working people. The greater the dependency ratio, the greater the burden on an average working adult. A low dependency ratio means there is a large pool of young working adults capable of supporting the dependent population. This means there is higher tax revenue and lower spending for the government, which in turn means less pressure on government finances.
