DEPENDENCY RATIO
Census of India 2011
Our Census, Our Future
• In demography the dependency ratio is an age-population ratio
of those typically not in the labour force (the dependent part)
and those typically in the labour force (the productive part). It is
used to measure the pressure on productive population.
• The dependent part usually includes those under the age of 15
and over the age of 59.The productive part makes up the
population in between, ages 15 – 59. It is normally expressed as
a percentage:
• Dependency Ratio =
(No. of persons in age group 0-14 years + No. of persons in age
group 60 years or more) ÷ No. of persons in age group 15-59
years *1000
Census of India 2011
Our Census, Our Future
• As the ratio increases there may be an increased burden
on the productive part of the population to maintain
the upbringing and pensions of the economically
dependent. This results in direct impacts on financial
expenditures on things like social security, as well as
many indirect consequences.
• The (total) dependency ratio can be decomposed intoChild (Young) dependency ratio and
Aged (Old) dependency ratio
Census of India 2011
Our Census, Our Future
Child (Young) dependency ratio =
(No. of persons in age group 0-14 years ÷ No. of persons in
age group 15-59 years *1000
Aged (Old) dependency ratio =
(No. of persons in age group 60and above ÷ No. of persons
in age group 15-59 years *1000

QUALITY OF AGE DATA
Census of India 2011
Our Census, Our Future
• Though conceptually, collection of information on age
seems to be a simple item but the ages returned in
censuses suffer from distortion.
• The age data suffers from distortion owing to preferences
for some ages and digits.
• In country like India, the distortions are naturally greater
because precise determination of age is not considered
important in everyday affairs.
Census of India 2011
Our Census, Our Future
• It not only affects the planning needs in education,
manpower etc., but also affects the estimates of fertility
and mortality.
• The sex- age data are also inevitable for the projections of
the future population, since some of the selected age
groups have their own importance.
• For example, estimation of economically dependent
population, working population, population (60+), females
in the age group 15-45 etc.

Measurement of age accuracy by means of an index
• Whipple's index (or index of concentration) is a method to
measure the tendency for individuals to inaccurately
report their actual age or date of birth.
• The index was invented by American demographer
George Chandler Whipple (1866–1924) is applied to
detect the extent to which age data show systematic
heaping on certain ages as a result of digit preference
or rounding. Typically the concern is for heaping on
particular ages such as those ending in 0 and 5.
Census of India 2011
Our Census, Our Future
• Index scores range between 100 (no preference for ages
ending in 0 and 5) and 500 (all people reporting ages
ending in 0 and 5).
• It was 230 in Census 2001
• To improve quality of age data, a question on date of birth
was added in Census 2011
• Whipple’s Index for India has reduced to 171 in Census
2011
