4 0

Answer:

a) Migrant workers send monies as gifts to their relatives in their home countries, they increase the purchasing power of their relatives. More money equals more purchasing power. This purchasing power is futher magnified by the (in many cases) huge difference in purchasing power between the currency in the migrants home country and the country of temporary residence.

b) migrant workers send remittances in order maximize the added purchasing power afforded by the huge variances in exchange rate. These monies sometimes are gifted to family members to help them or for some other project to be executed on behalf of the migrant.

c) the money is either used by the recipient for their own purposes in the case of a gift or used for the execution of a project on behalf of the migrant. Projects may include setting up a business, building a house or purchasing a property etc.

Cheers!

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

B. China has a large population , so its GDP per person is only modest

Explanation:

Despite being one of the countries with highest GDP's in the world, and experiencing enormous economic development in the past few decades, China's population is still not having the same level of financial power as the other countries with high GDP's. The main reason for this is that China has enormous population, being the most populated country in the world with over 1.3 billion people. Because of the enormous population, when the money are redistributed to everyone, it turns out that China is still at a level of a developing country. Not to make mistake, China's population has much higher standard of living than what it had few decades ago, so the people live much better, but the country still has a long way to go to reach the GDP's per capita that the other countries have.
