In 2020, the age dependency ratio in Tanzania was 85.9 percent. This meant that there were around 86 people aged 0-14 years and 65 years and older per 100 working-age population (aged 15-64 years). The ratio declined from 90 percent in 2000, indicating a reduced burden for the working-age population. Despite the decrease, the indicator was still higher than the average age dependency in Africa.
