Canada's dependency load for the youth is 15.1%, and for the seniors it's 20%. When you add the numbers from the dependent youth and the dependent seniors together, the total dependency load is 35.1%.

Kenya's dependency load for the youth is 36.8%, and for the seniors it's 2.9%. When you add the numbers from the dependent youth and the dependent seniors together, the total dependency load is 39.7%

Spain's dependency load for the youth is 13%, and for the seniors it's 21%. When you add the numbers from the dependent youth and the dependent seniors together, the total dependency load is 34%.

When it comes to life expectancy, Canada leads with an average of 84.2 years. Men live around 81.9 years, and women even longer at 86.6 years.

Kenya follows much lower at 76.4 years. Kenyan men live about 63.6 years, while women reach 72.3 years, with a noticeable gap between the genders.

Spain is close to Canada, with an overall life expectancy of 83 years. Men live to 80.3 years and women to 85.8 years.

In all three countries, women outlive men, but the gender gap is widest in Kenya. Canada and Spain show strong life expectancies, reflecting better healthcare and living conditions, while Kenya still faces bigger challenges that impact longevity.

Canada has a low birth rate at 10 births per 1,000 people.

Kenya has a high birth rate at 25.6 births per 1,000 people, more than double Canada’s.

Spain has a very low birth rate, even lower than Canada, at just 7.1 births per 1,000 people.

Overall, Kenya’s high birth rate shows a younger, faster-growing population, while Spain and Canada are seeing slower growth and aging populations.

In Canada, 15.1% of the population are dependent youth and 20% are dependent seniors, making a total dependency load of 35.1%.

Kenya has 36.1% dependent youth but only 2.9% dependent seniors, giving a total of 39.1% — the highest among the three.

Spain has 13% dependent youth and 21% dependent seniors, totaling 34% dependency load, the lowest overall.

Kenya’s high youth dependency reflects its younger population, while Spain and Canada are dealing more with senior dependency due to aging societies.

Differences in life expectancy, birth rate, and dependency load between countries exist because of things like healthcare, education, economy, and overall living conditions.

Countries like Canada and Spain have strong healthcare systems, good nutrition, clean water, and better education, which help people live longer and have fewer children. As a result, they also have more seniors who need support, raising their senior dependency load.

In contrast, countries like Kenya often face challenges like limited healthcare access, higher poverty rates, and lower education levels. This leads to a higher birth rate (families have more children), lower life expectancy, and a dependency load that’s more heavily made up of youth rather than seniors.

In short:

Higher life expectancy usually comes with lower birth rates and more senior dependency.

Lower life expectancy often comes with higher birth rates and more youth dependency.

It all ties back to how developed, healthy, and stable a country is.

Looking at life expectancy, birth rates, and dependency loads is important now and in the future because it helps countries plan for healthcare, economic growth, and social services.

Now

:

Healthcare: Countries with aging populations need more senior care, while younger populations need more education and healthcare.

Economy: High birth rates require job creation, while low birth rates may lead to workforce shortages and rising costs for senior care.

Social Services: Knowing the dependency load helps governments plan for education and elder care.

Future

:

Sustainability: Countries with aging populations must adjust policies to maintain economic growth and a stable workforce.

Global Shifts: Countries with younger populations may become more attractive for business and labor.

Planning: Tracking these trends allows countries to prepare for future challenges and opportunities.

In short, it helps inform decisions on healthcare, economic policies, and future planning.
