Mail's dependency load is the highest because they have a lot of kids/ teens. Canada's dependency load is second since they have a lot of people who can work and not a lot of kids.

Lastly we have Japan that has a really low dependency load since they don't have a lot of older people and they don't have a lot of people a lot of kids.

When it comes to the birth rate Mali's birth rate is the highest between Japan and Canada at an 18%. Mali's birth rate is high since they don't have a lot of seniors but they have a good amount of people in the working class. For second we have Canada with a birth rate of 4.9%. Canada's birth rate is this way since they have more seniors and not a whole bunch of people at the age to have kids. Lastly we have Japan at 3.3%, their birth rate is the lowest since they have a lot more people who are too old to kids anymore.

Canada has the highest life expectancy because there are a lot of baby boomers that live here. Next, we have Japan which has the second-highest life expectancy, since they have a good amount of people who are becoming seniors and a good amount of people who can still have kids. Lastly, we have Mail at the lowest, since they have no seniors in their country and a lot oh childrens.

Dependency load - Why do we care?

We care about the different dependency loads because if a country has a low dependency it can help us know how much people are in the working class and how much money is being made by citizens.

Birth rate - Why do we care?

naomirichardson3_ — 2023-11-23 18:18:40 UTC

We care because if a country has a really high birth rate we could see if that country might become over populated, but if a country has a low birth rate then in the future they will have a low amount of people in the working force.

Life expectancy - Why do we care?

naomirichardson3_ — 2023-11-23 18:18:40 UTC

We care since it shows us how much health care a country might need if their life expectancy is really high, but if the life expectancy is pretty low then the country doesn't need that much health care.
