Employment-to-population among youth worldwide was significantly higher among men than women between 2000 and 2023. In 2023, more than 40 percent of young men were employed, compared to less than 30 percent of young women, reflecting the fact that women are still underrepresented in working life around the world, and that girls often have to help out in the household when boys are sent to school.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Young County, TX population pyramid, which represents the Young County population distribution across age and gender, using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. It lists the male and female population for each age group, along with the total population for those age groups. Higher numbers at the bottom of the table suggest population growth, whereas higher numbers at the top indicate declining birth rates. Furthermore, the dataset can be utilized to understand the youth dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio, total dependency ratio, and potential support ratio.

Key observations

• Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Young County, TX, is 33.3.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Young County, TX, is 35.4.
• Total dependency ratio for Young County, TX is 68.7.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Young County, TX is 2.8.

The dependency ratio is a measure of the proportion of a country's population who are either below the age of being able to take up full-time employment or past the retirement age. A higher dependency ratio generally means that a country must fund a higher amount of public services used by dependents from a smaller tax base of full-time earners. On the other hand, having a high young person dependency ratio is markedly different from countries with an older population, as the money invested in younger people today will result in more full-time earners in the future. Countries with a very high old-age dependency ratios may struggle to fund their pension systems, as there are many people withdrawing with fewer people paying into the system. Except for Serbia, all EU candidate countries had smaller dependency ratios than the European Union average. In particular, Turkey has a much lower total dependency ratio than the EU, with 2.17 working age individuals per every dependent person, compared to 1.75 working age people in the EU. Considering the old-age dependency ratio, the difference expands further. In 2024, there were 6.6 citizens in working age for every person aged 65 and older, while the EU had around three workers for every European aged 65 and older. The EU's high old-age dependency ratio is often considered a key economic weakness of the bloc, as countries such as Italy and Germany have elderly and declining populations, leading them to have skills shortages. The youthful age profile of these candidate countries could therefore benefit the European Union, as it would provide it with a larger pool of young workers. On the other hand, countries which are particularly wary of allowing countries into the Union that may increase immigration within the bloc may look at this negatively, such as Austria and the Netherlands.
