Based on the views expressed by McNicoll (1984), World Bank (1984), and National Research Council (1986 cited in Kelley, 1988), I argue that the underdevelopment of Africa (as measured by per capita output) is caused by rapid population expansion. The negative effects of rapid population's growth on economic growth and development occurred in situations where arable land and water becomes scarce or costly to acquire, rights to land and natural resources are poorly defined, and government…

usually consider how the chocolate had been made, and delivered to them. However, if you knew how chocolate is made, you would not be able to only enjoy the sweet flavor. A number of Children are suffering from gathering in cocoa beans as slaves in the world. In addition, there is not only child slavery in the chocolate industry, but also in many kinds of industries come out by using child slavery. Parents of the children are so poor that they do not have enough money to raise them. Farmers…

previous decades, Jamaica had relied heavily on their natural resources for economic stability, but when global prices for ore fell, the economy began to plummet. Jamaica’s government began to rely more heavily on loans from the World Bank, IMF and the Inter-American Development Bank. Meanwhile, the economy was not growing, and the Jamaican people were often experiencing negative growth (Dennis). In Sudhanshu Handa and Damien King’s work, Adjustment with a Human Face? Evidence from Jamaica, they…

There is always financial crisis in the global economy and the effects really show in the middle of 2007 and into 2008. Where the world stock markets have fallen around the world and large financial institutions collapsed or either bailed out by the governments by rescue packages and bail out their financial systems. Economy was concerned about those who should be responsible for the financial problems are being bailed out. Since global financial meltdown affects almost everyone globally.…

Poverty is set to be an aspect that is prevalent in many countries around the globe and mandates special attention. The countries not only ask for assistance from developed countries but also the humanity that exists among people push for an increase in adoption of ways that can bring help to the affected areas. The poverty is often displayed by the constant deficiency in edibles, safe drinking water and lack of a place to live and even the deficiency of clothes. Many organs have to take up the…

point clearly and also consider the situation from a statistical view rather than a humanitarian one. Hardin also includes relevant and at the time current examples of programs meant to aid poorer countries such as the Food for Peace program and World Food Bank and analyzes what their effects will be over time to further support his thesis (Hardin 586-587). By continually presenting data and relevant examples as support material for his argument, Hardin adds a level of credibility to his essay…

On briefing the topic of poverty alleviation as a strategy to combat environmental degradation, I insist to the Director of the Africa Division and senior policy advisors of the World Bank that this strategy is worthwhile and that poverty alleviation is a strong method that would aid in the fight against environmental degradation. At the macro level, when a nation or nation-state, such as Haiti, is in poverty conditions, they must resort to short-sighted or short-term decisions to survive. In…

Globalization is the gasoline on the fire of development and global connections. The connections that have been made both physically and structurally between many countries, corporations and individuals have created our current cross-national world. The United states is a perfect example of cultural imperialists and investors of many global networks and governments. Those alliances and transactions have built our markets and supplied our lifestyles. I believe that globalization will change how…

Landlocked countries in Africa suffer from economic decline due to the inability to access imported resources and export local resources because of geographical barriers. The majority of Africa is underdeveloped. Vast savannahs, tropical jungles, and hot climates make growing and transporting food a challenge. Geographical barriers are not only a problem of location, but also poor government operation and corrupt policies. African governments have not worked together to develop an interstate…
