Answer 2

All of the following are indicators of a "high dependency rate" except low life expectancy.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The dependency rate is defined as the number of dependents "aged 0-14" behind every 1000 care taking adults.

• When it is said that the life expectancy rate in a particular area is low, it means that the chances of survival of the children in that particular region is low. Thus, lower the life expectancy rate, lower is the dependency rate.
