"support ratio" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is typically used in a business or academic context to refer to the level of support or assistance provided to achieve a certain goal or outcome. For example: "The project's success can be attributed to the high support ratio from our team members, who were always willing to lend a hand and offer valuable insights." In this sentence, the "support ratio" refers to the amount of support received from team members in relation to the project's overall success.
The so-called support ratio (roughly, the proportion of workers to pensioners) is declining everywhere.
That makes the real support ratio in some countries, like Britain, about 2.5 already.
The optimum conditions for the BPS-MCM-41 were 85 °C, the water to support ratio of 0.3 cc/g, and the aminosilane to support ratio of 1.5 cc/g.
The support ratio of HYPER for LWR units producing the same power is believed to be 5∼6.
The studies were committed to improving the Discharge Transmutation Support Ratio (DTSR) under three key design constraints.
However, the old age support ratio is then expected to dip to 2.87 by 2035, but the ONS points out that it would fall to 2.17 if the planned changes did not go ahead.
Tom McPhail, head of pensions research at Hargreaves Lansdown, said the Isle of Man faced more severe challenges than the rest of the UK "in terms of demographics and the support ratio of workers to retired population".
TRU and FP depletion is analyzed by calculating waste transmutation ratio, mass burned per full power year (in units of kg/fpy), and support ratio.
The Taguchi experimental design L9 orthogonal array (OA, three factors in three levels) was applied to investigate the effect of temperature, water to solid support ratio, and TRI to solid support ratio on the amine grafting and CO2 adsorption performance of amine grafted BPS-MCM-41 structure.
The ONS also estimates that the "old age support ratio" – the number of people of working age compared with the number of state pensioners – will rise from 3.16 in 2010 to 3.28 in 2020 because of the later state retirement date.
Not only did the levels of migration needed to stabilise the working-age population turn out to be large, but the flows needed to stabilise the present support ratio proved to be immense, at least in Europe.
