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.

Determine the impact of T‑shirts on annual GDP by calculating the value added of the entire production process. b.
