(b) Limitations of the Indicators: The dependency ratio is an approximation to the ratio of net consumers to net producers. As a proxy for that ratio, the dependency ratio suggests that children under age 15 as well as persons aged 65 or over are economically dependent. In many populations, however, people do not stop being economically active at age 65, nor is it true that all persons aged 15-64 are economically active.
More On Loan-to-Value Ratio (LTV) Loan to value ratio (LTV) is the relationship between a property value and the amount of loans against it. LTV is calculated by dividing the loan amount by the property value. If a home buyer makes a down payment of $40,000 on a home appraised at $200,000, the mortgage loan would be for $160,000.
