### The Wealth of Nations and Economic Growth: Work It Out 1 of 1Italy is a relatively rich country with a per-capita GDP of $28,000. India is a relatively poor country with a per-capita GDP of only $3,500. However, India is growing rapidly at a growth rate of 5% per year. We want to find out how many years it will take for India's per capita GDP to equal Italy's current per-capita GDP of $28,000.**How many times must India's per-capita GDP double in order to reach Italy's per-capita GDP?**India's per-capita GDP must double _____ times.**Use the rule of 70 to find how many years it will take for India's per-capita GDP to double once at a 5% growth rate.**Doubling time: _____ years**How many years will it take for India to reach Italy's current level of GDP per capita?**It will take _____ years for India to reach Italy's current level of GDP per capita.---### Explanation of Terms:**Rule of 70:** The Rule of 70 is a way to estimate how long it will take for a quantity to double, given a specific annual growth rate. Simply divide 70 by the annual growth rate to get the doubling time in years.For example, if the annual growth rate is 5%, the doubling time would be:\[ \text{Doubling Time} = \frac{70}{5\%} = \frac{70}{5} = 14 \text{ years} \]

The rule of 70 is a means of estimating the number of years it takes for an investment or money to…

Homework 5.6 While both India and China have grown tremendously over the last few decades, China appears to have clearly grown more impressively. See the GDP of the two countries in 1990 India GDP of $326 billion, China GDP of $358 billion By 2015, China’s GDP grew to $10.8 trillion India’s GDP grew to $2.07 trillion2 China’s growth > 33%, whereas India’s is > 6% The World Bank suggests that 800 million people have also moved out of poverty in China. The poverty rate fell from 88% of the population in 1981 to just above 4% of the population in 2014. India, cut its poverty level from 60% to 30% of its population between 1981 and 2012. However, the population also increased, so the overall decline in poverty was from 429 million to 400 million.. The growth of China and its effects on its population is visible.
