Philippines used child labor to develop

No schooling is available

Children can mix work and education in a progressive setting

All of the above

Exploding population has negated any positive effect of economic development.

Population decline due to reduced birth rate is negated by the large numbers of immigrants.

Additional resources allow families to support several children.

Economic supply has increased quality of life but not population control.

the richer are less rich

we cannot say

average income

inequality in the population

inequality among the poor

variance of average income

they do not save enough

there are not enough resources to educate them

all of the above

9.Children have costs and benefits to parents, and - (refer to the demand for children equation)*

the impact on family income is always negative, so children can be viewed as consumer goods.

14.The Gini Coefficient is calculated by finding which of the following?*

The percentage of the population living on less than $1 a day

The area between a Lorenz curve and the line of absolute equality

The difference between the richest and poorest of the population

The percentage of the population living on more than $1 a day

15.When Lorenz curves*

are more curved the greater is the degree of income inequality.

are less curved the greater is the degree of income inequality.

are used in calculating Gini coefficients.

First and third choice are correct

16.The closer the Lorenz Curve to the line of absolute equality,*

the lower is the degree of income inequality

the higher is the degree of income equality

the higher is the degree of income inequality

the lower is the degree of income equality

17.Which of the following describes why income inequality is bad for economic development?*

Income inequality may threaten political stability, because people are dissatisfied with their economic situation and place blame on political authorities.

Income inequality reduces the pool of people with resources, such as education, to improve productivity.

Income inequality may increase distrust and deter commitment among people in the marketplace, making contracts enforcement difficult.

First and second choice only

18.In general, countries that have higher average number of years of education per person have*

higher education Gini coefficients.

less equal distributions of education.

lower education Gini coefficients.

First and second choice only

none of the above

19.Closing the educational gender gap is widely considered to be economically desirable because*

the rate of return on women's education is higher than that on men's in most LDCs.

increasing women's education increases their productivity.

it would help lessen poverty, since women are less likely to be impoverished than are men.

First and second choice only

20.Comparing the costs and benefits, both private and social, of education leads economists to the conclusion that*

the socially optimal strategy would be to focus on secondary education.

the socially optimal strategy would be to focus on primary education.

the privately optimal strategy would be to focus on private education.

the privately optimal strategy would be to focus on secondary education.

None of the above

21.Which of the following statements is incorrect?*

Improvement in female education and labor force participation helps break the vicious circle of poverty.

Female education helps reduce the fertility rate and child mortality rate.

The rate of return on female education is higher than the rate of return on male education.

Female education helps reduce participation of women in labor market activities.

22.The supply of public school places is determined by*

individuals' demand for education.

direct and indirect costs of schooling.

political processes, often unrelated to economic criteria.

all of the above

23.Developing countries have not benefited as much as expected from their higher education programs because of*

lack of program focus on the needs of the country.

increasing returns to scale in each individual's education.

graduates get jobs in the private sector.

all of the above.

24.It is important to place particular stress on the role of primary education in the development strategy because of*

LDC's comparative advantage from basic skills education.

the law of diminishing returns.

development emphasis on poverty alleviation.

all of the above.

25.An individual's demand for education is most affected by*

direct and indirect costs of schooling.
