Question

Look at the following data and answer the questions that follow:

Regions	Contribution of Primary Sector to GDP (%)	Contribution of Secondary Sector to GDP (%)	Contribution of Tertiary Sector to GDP (%)	Human Development Index (HDI)
	2018	2018	2018	2018
A	1	34	65	0.93
B	2	32	66	0.85
C	2	37	61	0.71
D	6	33.2	60.8	0.81
E	14	30	56	0.65

1. In which region is contribution of primary activities the least?
2. In which region is contribution of primary activities the most?
3. In which region is contribution of tertiary activities the most?
4. Which region has the highest HDI?
5. Can you draw a conclusion on the basis of the answers from Q1 to Q4?

Answer 1

1. Region A, with 1% contribution.
2. Region E, with 14% contribution.
3. Region B, with 66% contribution.
4. Region A, with an HDI of 0.93.
5. The table shows that regions with a lower contribution of primary activities and a higher contribution of tertiary activities generally have a higher Human Development Index. Region A has the highest HDI with very low primary-sector contribution, while Region E has the lowest HDI and the highest primary-sector contribution.
