Economists love writing and speaking about the dependency ratio — the ratio of those below 16 years plus those above 64, compared to the working population aged between 16 and 64. Kenya’s dependency ratio is 81, Japan’s 62 and US’ 50, according to the World Bank.
This means in Kenya, for every 100 working people, we have 81 dependents — not working, but eating and doing what every human being ought to do.
