Q.4. Answer the following:
1) Explain the causes of high birth rate.
2) Explain the causes of low death rate.
3) Explain the role of Human Resource in Economic
development.
Answers
Answer:
1) Birth rates are high for a number of reasons: Lack of family planning education or contraceptives. In rural areas children are needed as labour on farms. In urban areas they are needed to work in the informal sector to earn money for their families.
2) For several important causes of death, rising incomes and a variety of social programs have accompanied significant reductions in mortality. Higher incomes make possible the use of expensive medical technology and are correlated with less smoking than lower incomes.
3) Human beings interact with nature through technology and create institutions to accelerate the pace of economic development. Human beings are essential components of resources as they transform materials in the environment into resources and use them.
