Homework 5.6
While both India and China have grown tremendously over the last few decades, China appears to have clearly grown more impressively. See the GDP of the two countries in 1990 India GDP of $326 billion, China GDP of $358 billion By 2015, China’s GDP grew to $10.8 trillion India’s GDP grew to $2.07 trillion2 China’s growth > 33%,
whereas India’s is > 6% The World Bank suggests that 800 million people have also moved out of poverty in China. The poverty rate fell from 88% of the population in 1981 to just above 4% of the population in 2014. India, cut its poverty level from 60% to 30% of its population between 1981 and 2012. However, the population also increased, so the overall decline in poverty was from 429 million to 400 million.. The growth of China and its effects on its population is visible. The rise of a middle class has turned China into a marketer's dream as a huge 'market' for all products such as automobiles.

(c) the total production or output has to increase.
GDP is the total market value of goods and services produced ina country in a year. Google the GDP’s of three countries. Everyoneshould use different countries. Use one advanced economy, onedeveloping country, and then a country on a different continentthan the first two countries you found. What I want to know and youneed to share is current (1) total gdp, (2) gdp per capita and (3)gdp growth rate for the last year. Explain what has been happeningin the countries you chose. If you have heritage from anothercountry, share the gdp numbers from your country.

- You have the following information on 3 countries: Soccerland, Handeggland, and Neverland. How long will it take until Soccerland’s GDP increases by 75%? How long will it take until Soccerland and Handeggland have the same GDP? Soccerland’s population is not happy that, eventually, Handeggland is going to have higher GDP than their country. They feel that they are a much better country, so they are going to work harder to ensure that Handeggland will never catch up with Soccerland. If Soccerland’s new growth rate is constant every year, what is the minimum growth rate that ensures that Soccerland will always have a higher GDP than Handeggland? Neverland’s ambition is to host the World Cup. At the beginning of 2013, its GDP was 2,000 and it was growing at 10% a year. Moreover, it will keep this pace until it hosts the World Cup. In order to host such a big event, Neverland’s GDP must be at least 6,000.
