Answer 1

Hello there.

Which of the following causes the most problems in countries with low economic growth?

4. rapid population increase

Answer 2

The correct answer is 4.

Economic growth is prevented in countries with a rapid population increase, as scarce capital cannot be directed to savings or investment activities, as it needs to be dedicated for substainance of that continously growing population, and this places a serious drag on economic development.
