Definition: Projected old-age dependency ratio
Category: Social statistics
Projected old-age dependency ratio is defined as the number of persons aged 65 and over expressed as a percentage of the number of persons aged between 15 and 64. It should be noted that projections are not forecasts and they are based on assumptions about the future, not on certainties. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/coded_files/sustainable_europe_2005.pdf#page=58
