Answer is Option (d) (Question: 379636.3 )

Please correct it

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and mark the correct Answer.

The size of the workforce in Brazil, the number of kids at home and parents to sustain will obviously have a great impact on the extent of poverty in Brazilian households. In fact, the demographic transition that has been on going in Brazil for the past few decades has helped a lot in reducing poverty. Less children were born in poorer families and that’s less children that ended up involved in street violence, drugs, gangs and so on. More parents were then able to push their kids to go to school and get an education. Of course, the situation is still pretty bad in Brazilian slums (favelas), but it’s estimated that the demographic transition had an impact equivalent to + 0.5% in GDP growth, which is not bad at all considering that the average GDP growth (per capita) was about 3% per year at the time. And since this transition happened over 30 years, its impact on the economy is equal to around 15% of growth in GDP (over three decades). Overall, the change in the family structure and in Brazilians’ lifestyle has had a much greater impact on reducing poverty than the speed of the demographic transition itself. On the other hand, the transition did have an influence on wages (e.g. supply of labour) and interest rates in a way that worsened poverty in Brazil (less overall income).

Options:
A)

B)

Change in family structure

Dear Student
Overall the change in the family structure and in the Brazilian's lifestyle has had a much greater impact on reducing the poverty than the speed of demographic transition itself.

Thus what been impacted by reduction of the poverty and the change of demographic transition is that the lifestyle of the common folk of Brazil is improved considerably and also the family structures are changed for better.
