Question

developing countries have lower statistics than developed countries in each of the following categories except ______. a. literacy rate b. income per family c. average life expectancy d. percentage of agricultural workers please select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A (literacy rate): Developed countries generally have higher literacy rates as they invest more in education. Developing countries have lower literacy rates.
• Option B (income per family): Developed countries have higher average family incomes due to more advanced economies and higher - paying jobs. Developing countries have lower family incomes.
• Option C (average life expectancy): Developed countries have better healthcare, nutrition, and living conditions, leading to higher life expectancy. Developing countries have lower life expectancy.
• Option D (percentage of agricultural workers): In developing countries, a larger proportion of the population is engaged in agriculture as they are often in the early stages of economic development (with less industrialization and service - sector growth). In developed countries, the percentage of agricultural workers is lower as more people are employed in industry and services. So developing countries have a higher percentage of agricultural workers, meaning this is the category where developing countries do not have lower statistics.

Answer:

D. percentage of agricultural workers
