The answer is 5.Adolescent fertility rates.
Let's look into the options one by one:
1. Numbers of workers in tertiary jobs
-This is incorrect.
-The fact is quite opposite to the option, as MDCs usually have the most people working in tertiary jobs, given that they have ample resources, they focus more on services. Tertiary jobs include serving, retails, selling etc. which people in MDCs mostly take up ; While in LDCs even if the places is more developed, it is likely that there are more primary and secondary jobs, which are producing of raw materials such as farming and fishing, while factory works include assembling and processing.
2. GDP per capita rates
-This is incorrect.
- As MDC are more well developed economically, it is likely that people can gemerate more income by doing tertiary jobs, while the value of services and the products are also higher than LDCs. Whereas more raw materials are produced and factory works are found in LDCs, and these jobs generate less income thus having less GDP than MDCs.
3. Literacy rates
-This is incorrect.
- MDC usually have a higher literacy rate, as people can afford to go to better schools, and most government provide free education and make certain level of education compulsory, for example public schools are set up. It could also provide education of higher level and of better quality, which makes the trend of people recieving higher level of education. Thus,as it is necessary for people to be educated in MDC the literacy rate is high. While in LDCs education may not be provided by goverment due to the lack of capital, and poorer families may not be able to afford education, causing a lower literacy rate.
4. Numbers of years of education(attending school)
-This is incorrect.
- As mentioned above, MDC usually make certain level of education compulsory, and there are many opportunities for people to study for higher level of educations like universiry, master or even PHD degree ; In LDCs there are less resources, and more people would quit studying at a young age to work and support their family.
5. Adolescent fertility rates
-This is correct.
- Given how people persue higher education in MDC, people work in society at a later age, thus having marriage later as well, making giving birth more dangerous. People are also often reluctant to have child as they have the mentality of enjoying their life without having to carry a burden, some are also too occupied by their job and did not have time for a child, making the birth rate low. While in LDCs, some family may be more traditional and seeing having child as a must, to inherit the bloodline for example.
Therefore, the answer is 5.Adolescent fertility rates.
Hope it helps!
