Projected change in dependency ratio depending on labor force participation, United Kingdom

– Age dependency is the ratio between the assumed dependents in a population (under-15s and over-65s) and working age population.
– Labor force dependency does not assume age brackets, but instead represents the ratio between those not participating in the workforce to those that are.
– High labor force participation assumes a higher share of people participate in the workforce (e.g. beyond the age of 65).
