Description

This Alberta Official Statistic compares the total dependency ratio, the youth dependency ratio and the old age dependency ratio for the eight economic regions in Alberta for 2011. Dependency ratio (age dependency ratio) is the ratio of persons in the "dependent" ages (generally under age 15 and over age 64) to those in the "economically productive" ages (15 - 64 years) in a population. The age-dependency ratio is sometimes divided into old-age dependency (the ratio of people ages 65 and older to those ages 15-64) and child-dependency (the ratio of people under age 15 to those ages 15-64) ratios. The sum of these two is the total (age) dependency ratio. The age-dependency ratio is often used as an indicator of the economic burden the productive portion of a population must carry - even though some persons defined as "dependent" are producers and some persons in the "productive" ages are economically dependent. Countries with very high birth rates usually have higher dependency...

Description

This Alberta Official Statistic describes the percentage of the population that reported having an Aboriginal identity in 2011. The population is divided into larger urban centres and rural and small town areas. Within the larger urban centres, the population is divided between Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA) and two different sizes of Census Agglomerations (CA). Within rural and small town Alberta, the population is divided into four categories with each category consecutively representing less integration with urban economies. The four categories are called Metropolitan Influence Zones (MIZ) and capture urban integration by measuring the percentage of the working population commuting to urban centers. The categories are: Strong MIZ (where 30% to 49% of the workforce commutes to an urban core) Moderate MIZ (where 5% to 29% commute to an urban core) Weak MIZ (where 1% to 4% commute to an urban core) No MIZ (where there are no residents commuting to an urban core)
