In 2022, the age dependency ratio in Egypt was 61.6 percent, which means that roughly 62 people were among the age groups 0 to 14 years and 65 years and older per 100 working-age population (between 15 and 64 years). Throughout the period under review, the age dependency ratio was at its highest in 2005 at 69.8 percent. This dropped the year after and remained relatively stable around roughly 54 percent and 55 percent until 2016. Since 2017, the ratio slightly increased to close to 62 percent. Moreover, in comparison to the African age dependency ratio, the Egyptian ratio was lower.
