Factors
Birth rate
Many kids needed for farming
Many kids die early
Religious/ social encouragements
Improved medical care
+ Diet.
Fewer Kids wanted.
Improved women
status
Later marriage
Family planning
Death Rate
Disease & Famine
Poor med. knowledge
many kids die
improvements in food supply
+ Sanitation
Reduced epidemics
Declining fertility with degenerative
diseases
Reliable food supply
Good health care

Good indicator of socio-economic development.
if the current age specific mortality rates persists
22. Health Adjusted Life expectancy (HALE)
No. of years a newborn can expect to live based on current rates of
( ill-health & mortality)
23. Median Age
The wider the base, the younger the population, the lower the median age.
36. NOTE: Dependency Ratio does not take into account labor force participation rates because
they don't have their families who will depend on them.
37. Potential support ratio
● No. of young aged individuals to support 1 elder.
● ( the higher, the better)
38. Conclusion / Summary
Saudi Arabia is entering a new, unfamiliar era regarding the magnitude of its aging population
Health expenditures are expected to increase during 2015 and 2050 due to the increase in the elderly rate
from 5.4 percent (1.6 Million) to 25 percent (10 million)
but the public expenses on education will drop in the same period as the youth dependency ratio decreases from 41
percent to 24 percent.
Health expenditures and reduction in public expenses on education are expected to offset each other.
