Use the figure to answer the question.

A bar graph shows the elderly support ratio (ages 15 to 64 divided by ages 65 and above) for the world and for several distinct regions. Data is displayed for both 2010 ratios and projected 2050 ratios. The bars for World go to 8.5 in 2010 and 4 in 2050; the bars for Europe go to 4 in 2010 and 2 in 2050; the bars for North America go to 7 in 2010 and 3 in 2050, the bars for Latin America go to 9 in 2010 and 3 in 2050; the bars for Asia go to 10 in 2010 and 4 in 2050; the bars for Africa go to 16 in 2010 and 9 in 2050.
