 | | | | | Question 1 Answer | | A) Because they have difficulty attracting industry, developing nations tend to have more people employed in agriculture. This type of employment tends to raise only small incomes. As a result the GDP for the country as a whole would be lower. As a result, in poorer countries there is less money to spend on healthcare so people would be more likely to die at a younger age. This would explain lower life expectancies. Birth rates are higher in developing countries for many reasons. There is less money to spend on family planning. Also, large families are desirable since children can work in the familys fields and look after their parents in their old age. | | | | | |
