| Sumario: | The most used measure of the load of demographic dependence is the relation of demographic dependence. This index lacks theoretical support and is based on a purely biological criterion. The objective is to generate an alternative index to estimate the load of economic dependence from a multidimensional theoretical perspective that adjusts to spatial inequalities and, in the theoretical field, admits the existence of a diffuse link between demography and economy, as well as the lack of a consensus concerning economic growth determinants and the creation of employment. The application of the alternative index is constructed for a disaggregation level corresponding to the census fraction for the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires in 2010. |
