Life expectancy in canada is 83 years which places 16th in the world in life expectanacy the impacts of high expectancy on a country is big such as healthcare, older people usually use more healthcare because theyre bodies are fragile and its impacts on healthcare is that there is a higher demand for healthcare. with an aging population there may be an increased demand for long term health care facilities and hospitals this impacts the healthcare system and puts pressure into it which affects the quality of healthcare for other people.

Analysis

dependancy load

victorsitu — 2024-01-19 15:58:34 UTC

canada has a dependency load of 35% this means that one third of its population is either very young or very old this balance is good for canada because it means there are enough people working to support those who cant work like children and the elderly this helps keep the countrys economy stable.

Japans dependency load is at 36% unlike canada japan has a lot of old people this situation can be tough for japan because it means there are fewer young people working and more older people who need things like healthcare this can put a lot of pressure on the countrys economy and resources

mali's dependency load is lower at 11% this tells us that mali has a lot of young people and not so much old people while it might seem less of a burden for mali it actually means they need to focus a lot on education and taking care of all these young people so they can grow up to be healthy and skilled workers

why do we care

understanding total dependency load number young old people compared those working countries like canada japan mali really important few reasons first affects country economy resources more people need support like elderly children fewer people working hard country have enough money things like schools hospitals big issue japan lot older people also information helps country plan future like building more schools mali lots young people more care homes japan elderly understanding also helps world know where send help like sending teachers places lots kids doctors places many older people so knowing about dependency load helps country figure out what needs now future helps other countries know how help them

why is it there?

in canada the population is like a family that has grandparents parents and kids living all together its balenced because canada is a country that has a good economy and good hospitals and schools so people usually live long lives parents often wait to have kids because theyre busy with jobs and school so there arent as kids. japan is like a family with more grandparents than kids people in japan live really long lives due to good healthcare but many adults in japan decide to have small families or no kids at all this means there are fewer young people and more older people who have lived long. mali is diffrent its like a family with lots of children and not as much grandparents this happens because families in mali often have more kids but life in mali can be tough and without as much access to good healthcare like in japan or canada people dont live as long so there are a lot of young people but not as many old people. each countrys population
