Part 2: In two pages discuss the following:
a. Discuss the relationship between GDP, GDP per capita and population
growth rate. Start with your hypothesis about what you expect this
relationship to be, and why. Include and describe a ten-year chart of
each of these variables. Comment on whether your country’s data
supports your hypothesis.
b. Discuss the relationship between the unemployment rate and the
rate of economic growth. Start with your hypothesis about what you
expect this relationship to be, and why. Then include ten year charts of
each of the variables. Comment on whether your country’s data
supports your hypothesis.
