In 2020, the child and old-age dependency ratio in Taiwan are expected to range at around 17.8 and 22.5 percent respectively, summing up to a total dependency ratio of 40.3 percent. While the child dependency ratio is expected to remain stable, the old-age dependency ratio will rise steadily in coming decades.

*Forecast. Figures have been calculated based on a medium variant modeling.
The dependency ratio denotes the relationship between economic dependent age groups (people who are either too old or too young to work) to those of a working age. Those who are defined as being able to work, by the source, are those between the ages of 15 and 64. The dependency ratio indicates how great a burden is placed on those of a working age by those of a non-working age.
