Chart of the month April

Age dependency ratio is an important population indicator. It depicts the relationship between the sum of population aged 0-14 and population aged 65+ to population between 15 and 64 years of age (population at working age). The chart shows that the value is constantly rising, but has stagnated in the Czech Republic and Hungary in the last two years. In Austria, the increase is significantly lower. While the country was at the top of the four Centrope countries in 2014 regarding the indicator, this ratio is now exactly the opposite.

CentropeSTATISTICS is the only available free web tool to visualise cross-border statistical data in its own connected geoportal allowing the user to influence the way of visualisation in multiple ways in the Centrope region.
