Calculate aggregate per capita electricity use for the least developed nations as well as low-income, middle-income, and OECD nations (see Table 8.1). What do these variations suggest about the capacity of these nations for economic development?
What will be an ideal response?
There is nothing to calculate for this problem, as aggregate per capita electricity use is already provided in Table 8.1 for these groups of countries. The relevant data from the table are:
Because electricity is the fastest growing form of energy use world-wide and is instrumental to economic development of all kinds, we see that the least developed and low income nations probably do not have the infrastructure needed for their economic progress.
