Rural population in mainland Portugal 107 Total Dependency Ratio in rural parishes TDR – Total Dependency Ratio = Population aged 0-14 + Population aged 65 and over × 100 6 Population aged 15-64 2001 2011 6 • In 2011, in the central inland and northeast regions of mainland Portugal, as well as the Algarve hinterland, there had been a rise in the number of parishes with TDR >100: up around 181 as compared to 2001. This denotes a grow- ing level of old and young people dependent on the working age population. 6 A figure under 100 signifies fewer young and old people (aged under 15 and over 64) than people of working age (15–64). • Looking at earlier ratios helps to show that it is mainly the greater proportion of old people that has influenced the results of TDR >100. Conse- quently, the 248 parishes with OADR >100 are included in TDR >100.
