Supplementary notes

The demographic pressure is the ratio of the non-working (0-20 and 65 years and older) population to the working (20-65 years) and is calculated by dividing the sum of the non-working population by the working population x 100. The higher the demographic pressure, the more non-working people the working population has to support.
