QUESTION TWORecently, the government of the republic of Zambia conducted a 2022 Census of Population and Housing. From the summary results, Zamstats indicated that the 2022 Zambian population is 19,610,769. Assume that 35% of the population are not in the labour force. Suppose also that from those in the labour force, 40% are employed. Determine the total number of people who are;a) not in the labour force.b) in the labour force.c) employed.d) unemployed.
There are 160 million population. 90 million people are working; 10 million are not working but are looking for work; and 20 million are not working and have given up looking for work. Solve for the labour force participation rate. Additionally: Could someone explain the difference between ‘population’ vs ‘adult population’? How do we derive the ‘adult population’ if they only provide numbers for the ‘population’? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
Part A: Differentiate between measures of annual income. Is it better to describe a region’s ‘typical’ standard of living based on mean annual income measures? If not, what would you suggest as a better descriptive statistic? Part B: Differentiate between income and wealth. Why is income data so prevalent while wealth data so rare? Finally, explain two different methods of measuring wealth.

MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE Human Development Index is a mix of three statistics- wealth, education and income.
Suppose that education does not affect worker’s productivity, but it is more costly for low-ability workers to obtain the education. If firms cannot distinguish between different workers they must pay them all the wage equal to the expected productivity. If they can distinguish between workers with different abilities, they pay each worker their marginal product of labour and make zero profits. 70% of workers in the population have low ability. The productivity of low-ability workers is YL = 20000, and the productivity of high-ability workers is YH = 50000. The cost of education to high-ability workers is CH(S) = S 4 , and the cost of education to low-ability workers is CL = S. 1. Suppose firms cannot observe worker’s education. What wage will they offer to a highability worker? What is the optimal level of schooling for the high-ability worker? Why? 2. Suppose that firms can observe worker’s educational attainment and believe that workers with the level of schooling above some…

If these population changes were only due to human migration, what conclusions could be made, based on the map? a) The majority of states are experiencing immigrationtherefore, the overall country has an increase in population size b) The majority of states are experiencing emigration therefore, the overall country has an increase in population size. c) The majority of states are experiencing immigration; therefore, the overall country has a decrease in population size d) The majority of states are experiencing emigration; therefore, the overall country has a decrease in population size
What does poverty look like in Ethiopia country? Correlates the cost of medical care with annual income in Ethiopia such as Infectious and chronic disease incidence, Health care provisions/options, and Prioritization of health care by the government Appropriate to include crime levels and environmental factors affecting health in Ethiopia suh as Earthquakes, hurricanes…. Interpret the impact of war, natural disasters, and/or bioterrorism on country's health status.
A key theme of criticism of globalization is that it seems to unfairly reward the rich and punish the poor. One way to think about this is to look at the issue of income inequality. Technically, income inequality is the unequal distribution of household or individual income across the various participants in an economy. Income inequality is often presented as the percentage of income to a percentage of population. For example, a statistic may indicate that 70% of a country's income is controlled by 20% of that country's residents. Work on income inequality in the USA shows the change in income between 1980 and 2014 for every point on the distribution of people in terms of income percentile that is, we can track the changing distribution of income, from the poorest person to the richest person over that time span. As seen in the chart below, it’s mostly flat and close to zero, before spiking upward at the end—as such, some say it resembles a classic hockey-stick graph. Based on this…
