Answer (2)

The dependency ratio measures the number of dependents relative to the working-age population, indicating economic strain on workers. The crude birth rate refers to live births per 1,000 people in a population without considering demographic details, which is why it's termed 'crude.' Both measures provide insights into demographic and economic conditions of a population.
