How many dependents — children and older people — there are per 100 people of working age.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country. For all of them that is 2025.
Top-20 · per 100 people aged 15–64
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.
