The dependency load is typically calculated using the formula:

[ \text{Dependency Load} = \frac{\text{Number of Dependents}}{\text{Working-age Population}} \times 100 ]

This formula provides a ratio that indicates the proportion of dependents (usually children and elderly) relative to the working-age population, helping to assess the economic burden on the productive segment of the population.
