Answer: mark me as brainllist

While the rest of the world's economy grew at an annual rate of close to 2 percent from 1960 to 2002, growth performance in Africa has been dismal. From 1974 through the mid-1990s, growth was negative, reaching negative 1.5 percent in 1990-4. As a consequence, hundreds of millions of African citizens have become poor: one half of the African continent lives below the poverty line. In sub-Saharan Africa, per capita GDP is now less than it was in 1974, having declined over 11 percent. In 1970, one in ten poor citizens in the world lived in Africa; by 2000, the number was closer to one in two. That trend translates into 360 million poor Africans in 2000, compared to 140 million in 1975.

In The Economic Tragedy of the XXth Century: Growth in Africa (NBER Working Paper No. 9865), authors Elsa Artadi and Xavier Sala-i-Martin review both the deteriorating economic status of the African continent and the ways in which rich nations, as well as the African nations themselves, might help the poor nations of the continent.

Using the robust econometric determinants of economic growth in a cross-section of countries, the authors pinpoint the most important factors behind the tragedy. The first culprit has been the lack of investment. Over the past 40 years the investment rate in Africa has fallen. Since 1975 the investment rate has declined to 8.5 percent for the whole continent, compared to investment rates for the average-performing OECD economy of between 20 and 25 percent, and for East-Asian economies of 30 percent. Furthermore, most of the investment was skewed in the direction of the inefficient public sector. Recent reforms in Africa have raised the investment rate, but only slightly.Explanation:

How did hobbesinfluence the us government
Pani-rosa [81]
They Influence him because of The descendant of French Protestant refugees who came to New York in the late seventeenth century, Jay began a distinguished career in national politics with his election to the First Continental Congress in 1774. A lawyer by training and a cautious politician by temperament, Jay was one of a group of moderate delegates who resisted independence until all hopes for reconciliation with Britain were gone. In the New York provincial convention in 1777, Jay was the principal author of a state constitution that limited legislative domination of government far more effectively than the charters that had just been written in other states.

Which of the following was a benefit of American industrialization?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Providing jobs for immigrant workers.

Explanation:

Industrialization can be defined as a strategic process which typically involves the development of various industries in a country by the large-scale introduction of mechanized equipments and use of technology for the manufacturing of goods and services that meets the need or requirements of consumers.

Also, it involves the process of replacing human and animal power with an inanimate source of energy such as solar energy, steam plants, nuclear power, wind energy, etc.

This ultimately implies that, industrialization enhances or facilitates an increased level of output (production) in a country when it's adopted.

A benefit of American industrialization was the provision of jobs for immigrant workers because workers were largely needed in various factories across the United States of America.

For example, in New York City, the clothing industry provided employment for a lot of immigrants during the American industrialization.
