Based on the age distribution of the January up to December 2015 population, the dependency ratio is 31.62% (43,859), which means that less than half of the population is dependent.

Moreover, about 63.05% (87,447) of the population belonging to the 15-64 years old age bracket are potentially employable (See Table 9).

With regard to sex ratio, the number of male populace is higher compared with the female population (See Table 10).
