Dependency Load & Total Dependency Load:

# data[].attributes.body
The percentage of the population that is non-working. It is conventionally defined as including people younger than the age 15 and older than the age 65.

Japan has a large elderly population. People in Japan are healthy and take good care of their bodies and food.Japan has a low birth rate. That is the main reason why Japan has an aged population.

In Nigeria, life expectancy is around 80-84 years old.

Because of medicine and healthcare, life expectancy in Canada is increasing. We need to teach young people how to create medicine or how to be good doctors so that they can care for the elderly and assist them when they are no longer able to do so. But the amount of children is decreasing which takes us back to the birth rate.

Canada has a long life expectancy due to its excellent health care and medication.

# data[].attributes.body
Because of how they care for themselves and what they consume, Japanese people have a long life expectancy. However, life expectancy is largely determined by birth rate, and if we have a good birth rate and enough health care, we should not be concerned about life expectancy.

In Japan, life expectancy is around 100+ years old for females, and 95-99 years old for males.

In Nigeria, people are dying earlier than other countries because of illness and disease. That is why we should help them by giving them medicine, because when these old people die they leave the children behind to live by themselves or take care of their siblings alone with no help.

Nigeria is a poor country, so having babies is not a good idea thinking about their residence, health, education etc. People in Nigeria are not educated so they are not going to find ways to improve their country and help these young people live a healthy life.

# data[].attributes.body
Reasons why Nigeria has a young population:

Women in Nigeria are not educated, so they stay home, have babies and take care of them.

People are having babies because they want their babies to take care of them when they grow up.

Women also get babies at a young age or have lots of babies for cultural reasons.

Because the Japanese do not have children, there will be no future generations in Japan to run businesses and hold jobs. People should strike a balance between job and family life since it will make them feel better about themselves and allow them to enjoy their free time.

# data[].attributes.body
Reasons why japanese people are not having babies

People are not planning on having babies, they are thinking about the future.

In a country as advanced as Japan, the cost of raising a child is pretty high.

The Japanese are committed, hard workers at the workplace. Some employees leave early in the morning and come back around midnight, so they don’t have a lot of free time.

We should be concerned about the birth rate if we care about future generations. We are more optimistic about the future as more babies are born. The problem is that Canada's birth rate is falling, so who will look after the elderly and take over the jobs and businesses?

# data[].attributes.body
Reasons why Canada might be an aged population in the future:

The birth and fertility data suggest that the pandemic likely had an overall negative impact on childbearing in Canada.

people not having babies or not as many babies for many different reasons (Ex. Not ready yet, want to be successful, don’t have time, want to take care of themselves, don’t like babies,etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
In Nigeria, there is no schooling, which leads to women having babies and men working long hours. Because there is no healthcare or medicine without schooling, life expectancy is poor. In Nigeria, learning is essential because people are dying.

# data[].attributes.body
Nigeria has a young population.High fertility is maintained through norms perpetuating large family size, early marriage and childbearing, and low contraceptive use.

Because Canada's population is ageing and birth rates are declining, few people will be able to take over the occupations and businesses that older people hold because they will eventually retire. Without children, who will look after the elderly when they are unable to look after themselves? We should begin to consider these issues.

# data[].attributes.body
Canada's population is ageing.
Not many babies are being born, more older people are retiring, and people are not thinking about having babies because they don’t feel ready.

65 and older: 28.71%
14 and younger: 12.4%

Japan has an aged population.Working load is getting smaller as the Japanese are not interested in having babies and people are living longer.

# data[].attributes.body
If Japan's dependency load remained the same as it is currently, there may not be many Japanese people living there. People do not want to have children and are bored of working, so they commit suicide, resulting in a decrease in the younger population. Elders live for a long time because they take care of themselves, but humans cannot live forever and must eventually die.
