Cevap

An increase in the proportion of elderly dependents relative to the remaining working-age population
When young adults migrate from rural villages to cities, the working-age population in the rural source region shrinks. Consequently, children and the elderly make up a higher percentage of the remaining population, increasing the relative proportion of elderly dependents.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary demographic group involved in rural-to-urban migration
Youth and young adults (the economically active workforce) migrate most frequently.
Urban centers offer wage employment and tertiary education, attracting productive age brackets.
2
Determine the demographic composition remaining at the rural origin
Children and elderly individuals constitute a larger relative share of the remaining population.
The departure of young adults leaves dependent age groups behind in the rural villages.
3
Evaluate the net demographic consequence
The proportion of elderly dependents increases relative to the working-age population.
This elevates the overall demographic dependency ratio in the rural sending area.
