dependencia
En numerosos países del mundo desarrollado se están generando y adaptando sistemas de apoyo a la dependencia
This is an article about the costs of informal care. Obviously much reference is made to the "ley de la dependencia" and the article even refers to the RAE defintion of dependencia so I can't always avoid it by using dependent people, dependent elderly etc. So many of the hits I get for dependence are from Spanish articles translated into English that the word makes me uneasy. It's used constantly in the text. Other examples:
El envejecimiento de la población mundial es un hecho sin precedentes en toda la historia de la humanidad que además está asociado a un incremento en la tasa de dependencia
Los objetivos de este estudio son analizar la evolución de la dependencia, estimar los costes del cuidado informal de esta y mostrar la relación entre el cuidado informal y un conjunto de servicios formales

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Does an Ageing Population mean Increased Dependency?
A related measure of population aging is the elderly dependency ratio

: Are you familiar with la Ley de Dependencia? Has nothing to do with "ratios" It's a relatively recent law in Spain.

I think you're right; "dependence" would work fine in the first instance in your text, but then you need to move to "dependent care" for the "evolución de" part.
| Thanks for your help, Edward. I used dependent care in other parts of the translation. |

I believe reference to the elderly is too limited. Granted, they probably account for a majority of cases, but "Dependencia" includes all dependents of all ages.
