Canada has a total dependency load of 35.1%, with 15.1% of the population under 14 and 20% over 65. This means that for every 100 working-aged people, there are 35.1 or 35 dependents (rounding to the nearest whole).

Kenya has a total dependency load of 39.7%, with 36.8% of the population under 14 and 2.9% over 65. This means for every 100 working-aged people, there are approximately 36.8 or 37 dependents (rounding to the nearest whole).

Spain has a total dependency load of 35% (similar to Canada), with 14% of the population under 14 and 21% over 65. This means that for every 100 working people, there are 35 dependents.

Canada: For the life expectancy, Canada has a good life expectancy and good healthcare. According to the graph provided in the doc, 8.9% of Canada's population is 75+ years old, which includes female and male individuals.

Kenya: Life expectancy seems to be low in Kenya, which also has limited access to healthcare. According to the graph provided in the doc, including males and females, 0.9% of the population in Kenya is 75+ years old.

Spain: According to the graph included in the doc, 10.3% of the population is over 75 years old in Spain, including male and female individuals. This means Spain has a very good life expectancy, better than Canada and Kenya, which also means Spain has a good healthcare system.

Why is there?

Canada, Spain: Reasons why Spain and Canada has more older individuals than younger may be due to the rising number of immigrants coming to Canada, and many people in Canada and Spainmay not want to raise a child due to them not wanting to, the expense of raising a child, being too busy to take care of one, many people in Spain being single, and, parenting stress.

Kenya: Reasons why Kenya has a high birth rate, meaning that there are more children being born than older people, are due to many Parents want more children to be used as a source for child labor, including farming. Another reason is due to the lack of healthcare and nursing homes Kenya does not have for an individual in Kenya to live longer.

Why do we care?

denzelevanzonsa — 2025-05-01 03:36:38 UTC

Canada and Spain: The reason why we care about low birth rates in Canada and Spain is because if there are currently fewer children in Canada right now, there would be fewer job opportunities in the future. And since there are more middle-aged individuals than children, the pricing for healthcare and housing will go higher due to the demand of many people buying it.

Kenya: The reason why we care about Kenya having fewer older people is because of the risk of life expectancies in the country, meaning that the life expectancy can go as low as 50 years old for the average person in Kenya, which is below the average life expectancy around the world.
