Data for 1967

Total Dependency Ratio, 1967

1967, as UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The total dependency ratio counts the people of an age usually thought of as dependent — under 15, or 65 and over — for every 100 people aged 15 to 64. It is a rough measure of how many children and older people each working-age adult supports, and it is published with its two halves: the child ratio and the old-age ratio.

Total Dependency Ratio, 1967 covers 222 countries on 3 measures. Cook Islands is highest, at 121.965; Vatican City is lowest, at 24.981. The middle country reads 85.236. Against 1966, 222 values changed (123 up, 99 down), the same countries are covered.

Read before you use

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2024 release

    Every year in this series comes from UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 1967.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 222 countries has every column.
