19. Dependency Ratio: A measure showing the number of dependents (aged 0-14 and over the age 65 ) to the total population (aged 15-65). Also referred to as the “total dependency ratio”.
Calculated by:
No. of Dependents
Dependency Ratio = --- --- X 100%
Population (aged 15-64)
20. Literacy and Education Literate: A person who can read and write in any language is literate. A person who can merely read but cannot write is not literate. It is not necessary that the person should have received any formal education or should have passed any minimum educational standard. All children of age below seven years have been treated as illiterate even though some of them may be attending schools and may be able to read and write a few words.
21. Literacy rate: Literacy rate of the population is defined as the percentage of literates in the age group of seven years and above. For different age groups the percentage of literates in that age group gives the literacy rate.
22. Gross Enrolment Ratio: Gross Enrolment ratio measures what percentage of the total population in the relevant age-group is being covered by the various educational programmes being run in the country, i.e.
Enrolment at stage I
Gross Enrolment Ratio at stage I = -- --- * 100
Population in the age group corresponding to the I stage Two stages are: primary (Classes I-V) and middle (Classes VI-VIII).
The corresponding age-group for these stages are 6-10 years and 11-13 years respectively.
Therefore, gross enrolment ratio for primary stage (I-V) is
Total Enrolment in Classes I-V
Gross Enrolment Ratio for primary stage (I-V) = -- --- * 100 Total Population in the age group 6-11 years
While interpreting these figures it should be noted that there may be many students outside the
age group 6-11 enrolled in classes’ I-V. Therefore, enrolment ratios in some age groups can be
more than 100.

23. Dropout rate: Dropout at primary stage during a given year is defined as the ratio of the difference of enrolment in class I in the fourth year preceding and the enrolment in class V during the year to the enrolment in the class I in the fourt year preceding. In mathematical terms, these rates for primary (I-V), middle (I-VIII) and secondary (I-X) stages are explained below:
Enrolment in class I preceding four year (i.e. 1987-88)
Drop out rates at minus Enrolment in class V during the year (1991-92) Primary stage = --- x 100 during 1991-92 Enrolment in class I preceding four year (i.e. 1987-88)
Enrolment in class I preceding 7 years (i.e. 1984-85) Drop out rates at minus Enrolment in class VIII during the year (1991-92) Middle stage = --- x 100
during 1991-92 Enrolment in class I preceding 7 year (i.e. 1984-85)
Enrolment in class I preceding 9 years (i.e. 1982-83) Drop out rates at minus Enrolment in class X during the year (1991-92) Secondary stage = --- x 100 during 1991-92 Enrolment in class I preceding 9 year (i.e. 1982-83)
