Populations of many highly developed countries face the problem of an ageing society, i.e., the share of senior citizens in the total population increases. A common measure for quantifying this effect is the old-age dependency ratio (ODR) which gives the ratio of the number of people aged 65 and over to the number of people between ages 20 and 64.
