About this document
Countries with High Dependency Ratios by Bhavya Sorathiya is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Japan has the highest dependency ratio at 67.4%, indicating a significant portion of its population is either very young or elderly. A high dependency ratio can lead to reduced productivity, increased government spending on services, and various social issues such as education shortages and poor sanitation. Population density varies due to factors like climate, terrain, and accessibility, with densely populated areas typically having milder climates and better resources.
