Answer to Question 2

The vicious cycle of poverty explains that the people in LDCs are poor because of a low level of investment in capital goods production, and the low level of investment is because the people are poor. The consequences are high infant mortality rates, low life expectancy, a low percentage of people using safe water, and a low percentage of school aged children in school.
