Part 2: Conclusions

Based on the articles provided and the research you conducted using the Library and Internet, identify key factors that determine long-term economic growth by comparing two different countries of your choice. One advanced economy such as England, Canada, Germany, etc., and the other country is considered a developing economy, such as Angola, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, etc.

Explain how economically different the two countries are, by examining at least five different economic indicators, such as gross domestic product, gross domestic product per person, exports, imports, the balance of payments, and the differences in at least three of their social indicators, such as population, population per square kilometer, etc. Then, expand your research into the cultural differences, including political structure, average education, and social influences, to determine why these two countries are so different economically.
