In 2021, the child dependency ratio in Egypt was 53.2 percent, which means that there were roughly 53 children aged 14 years and younger per 100 working-age population (between 15 and 64 years). Throughout the period under review, the child dependency ratio followed a declining trend until 2012, before slightly increasing and dropping again in 2018. Overall, this reveals a drop in the burden on the working-age population in comparison to in 1990.
Child dependency ratio is the ratio of individuals younger than 14 years old that are dependent on the working-age population aged 15 to 64. Data is expressed as the proportion of dependents per 100 working-age population.
