Appendix D). Identify countries that have relatively high or low prevalence of
undernourishment compared to their relative GDP (i.e., relatively poor/wealthy
countries that have relatively low/high undernourishment.)
12. Using the World Bank’s World Development Indicators (see Appendix D),
graph percentage of population without access to basic improved sources of
drinking water against GDP for countries where data is available. Identify
countries that have relatively high or low use of improved sources of drinking
water compared to their relative GDP (i.e., relatively poor/wealthy countries
that have relatively high/low use of improved sources of drinking water.)
13. Using the World Bank’s World Development Indicators (see Appendix D),
graph percentage of population without access to electricity against GDP for
countries where data is available. Identify countries that have relatively high or
low access to electricity their relative GDP (i.e., relatively poor/wealthy countries that have relatively high/low access to electricity.)
14. Write and discuss an opinion on whether, and in what specific sense, your home
community, home country, or the world face a Malthusian trap in the twentyfirst century.
