South Region:

Section: 1: Child Dependency Ratio: =31.4160%

Section: 2: Old-age Dependency Ratio: 18.9205%

Section: 3: Age Dependency Ratio: 50.3364%

Section: 4: Interpret: About 31% of the children and 19% of old people of the South region depend on their working adults.

Section: 5: Extend: This implies that more than 50% of children and old people in the United States depend on 50% of the working population for survival.

Data and Calculations:

Age                            Total   # Northeast   # Midwest   # South      # West

Both sexes             306,108      54,782         66,104      113,274        71,946

Under 15 years        62,155       10,034          13,180       23,671        15,269

15 to 64 years       204,775        37,101        44,209       75,347         48,117

65 years and older 39,178         7,647           8,715        14,256         8,560

South Region:

Section: 1: Child Dependency Ratio: =31.4160% (23,671/75,347 x 100)

Section: 2: Old-age Dependency Ratio: 18.9205% (14,256/75,347 x 100)

Section: 3: Age Dependency Ratio: 50.3364% (37,927/75,347 x 100)

Section: 4: Interpret: About 31% of the children and 19% of old people of the South region depend on their working adults.

Section: 5: Extend: This implies that more than 50% of children and old people depend on the working population.

Thus, the records show that a little over 50% of the population depends on less than 50% population for survival.
