Census of India 2011
Our Census, Our Future
PRESENTATION ON
AGE DATA
DATA RELEASE – INDICATORS
 The present set of results pertain to data collected in the

Census 2011 on age
 Age is one of the core topics in Population Census
 Census results have three basic tabulation levels, namely,
rural/urban, sex and age.
 Distribution of population by age is an essential
prerequisite for dissemination of census results by age
and for population projection

DEPENDENCY RATIO
• In demography the dependency ratio is an age-population ratio

of those typically not in the labour force (the dependent part)
and those typically in the labour force (the productive part). It is
used to measure the pressure on productive population.
• The dependent part usually includes those under the age of 15
and over the age of 59.The productive part makes up the
population in between, ages 15 – 59. It is normally expressed as
a percentage:
• Dependency Ratio =
(No. of persons in age group 0-14 years + No. of persons in age

group 60 years or more) ÷ No. of persons in age group 15-59
years *1000
• As the ratio increases there may be an increased burden

on the productive part of the population to maintain
the upbringing and pensions of the economically
dependent. This results in direct impacts on financial
expenditures on things like social security, as well as
many indirect consequences.
• The (total) dependency ratio can be decomposed into-
Child (Young) dependency ratio and
Aged (Old) dependency ratio
Child (Young) dependency ratio =

(No. of persons in age group 0-14 years ÷ No. of persons in
age group 15-59 years *1000
Aged (Old) dependency ratio =

(No. of persons in age group 60and above ÷ No. of persons
in age group 15-59 years *1000

QUALITY OF AGE DATA

• Though conceptually, collection of information on age

seems to be a simple item but the ages returned in
censuses suffer from distortion.
• The age data suffers from distortion owing to preferences

for some ages and digits.
• In country like India, the distortions are naturally greater

because precise determination of age is not considered
important in everyday affairs.
• It not only affects the planning needs in education,

manpower etc., but also affects the estimates of fertility
and mortality.
• The sex- age data are also inevitable for the projections of
the future population, since some of the selected age
groups have their own importance.
• For example, estimation of economically dependent

population, working population, population (60+), females
in the age group 15-45 etc.
Measurement of age accuracy by means of an index

• Whipple's index (or index of concentration) is a method to
measure the tendency for individuals to inaccurately
report their actual age or date of birth.
• The index was invented by American demographer

George Chandler Whipple (1866–1924) is applied to
detect the extent to which age data show systematic
heaping on certain ages as a result of digit preference
or rounding. Typically the concern is for heaping on
particular ages such as those ending in 0 and 5.
• Index scores range between 100 (no preference for ages

ending in 0 and 5) and 500 (all people reporting ages
ending in 0 and 5).
• It was 230 in Census 2001
• To improve quality of age data, a question on date of birth
