Why is dependency ratio higher in India?
1. Lack of better medical facilities. Unhealthy unemployed youth cannot afford to take treatment from private hospitals.
2. Population is very high so the government is unable to help the every citizen of the country.
3. Females in spite of being educated and efficient are not allowed to work because of social foundations.
4. Unemployment is a major problem of India. Educated unemployed youth is also become a part of dependent population.
