Question

In the pre-industrial revolution era, the global population percentage of countries closely approximated the global GDP percentage. What does this imply?

• A. The countries with larger populations had better technology
• B. Human labour was the major input and countries having more labour could create more output
• C. The output per individual was more in countries with higher population
• D. The output per individual was almost constant throughout the world

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B

Human labour was the major input and countries having more labour could create more output

D

The output per individual was almost constant throughout the world

In the absence of technology, the output of a country depended largely on the human input. Hence, the population and GDP trends resembled each other.
