a quick guide on the peoples jobs and age (and what dialogue means what)
Jobs
farmers- produces the rations
soldiers- help prevent people dying from violence
workers- gives credit
merchant- usually gives more credit then the workers BUT is very dependent on the population
unemployed, student, and children- don't appear to do much
Age
It seems that the elderly are more likely to die of illness. other than that there doesn't appear to be any other significance
dialog
if they mumble, mutter, yell, demand, or threaten- either credits or rations will be stolen
If they state they're hungry, starving, or "can't go on much longer"- they will most likely die due to starvation
any other dialog means that they will most likely not do anything and will probably survive another day without rations
hope this helps you all and if I got anything wrong please do tell me and I'll correct it ^v^
