Solution
- The country's productivity depends upon the working and non-working population in the country.
- If more people are working and fewer people are non-working, then resources are invested in other areas, so there is a boost to the country's economic development.
- Due to a boost in the economy, per capita income increases.
- Thus, there is an economic benefit to the country: the dividend, which benefits all in the country.
