When a country is ageing (median age above 40), it again has a high dependency ratio, this time because of old people.
而当一个国家趋向老迈时(中位年龄在40岁以上)，依赖性比例仍然高，这是因为老人多的原故。
When fertility is high and a country is young (median age below 20), there are huge numbers of children and the overall dependency ratio is high.
一个国家生育率高，表示这个国家很年轻（中位年龄在20岁以下），小孩数量庞大，依赖性比例相当高；
The OECD expects Japan’s dependency ratio (of working-age to retirement-age citizens) to fall to 1.2 by 2050 and Germany’s to 1.6; Britain’s, by contrast, would be a relatively healthy 2.4.
OECD（经济合作与发展组织）预计到2050年日本的抚养比率（工作人口与退休人口的比率）会将降至1.2，德国则降至1.6；相反，英国会在2.4，相当稳健。
Applying the methodology of standardized crude rate is necessary to remove the impact of the age structure so that the standardized dependency ratio and demographic dividend can reflect the reality.
只有应用“粗率”的标准化方法，对劳动年龄人口的年龄进行标准化，消除年龄结构的影响，“标化”人口抚养比和人口红利，才更有可能反映实际。
