Conclusion

In conclusion we have decided that we would not like to live in India and would definitely rather live in Norway. India though beautiful and culturally rich is also over crowed, not very clean or safe, the poverty and unemployment rates are higher and the life expectancy is quite low. Norway is pretty much the opposite being a very healthy and clean country with low unemployment and poverty rates as well as having a high literacy rate and life expectancy.

How This Affects India's Economy

Most of the people of India have a poor quality of life. It is ranked 128 out of 178 countries for economic freedom. This is because India is a sought after business country, many companies out-source jobs into India. India has a high population and since it has good economic potential, many people have jobs but they aren't paid well. India makes lots of goods, that is why they have a good GDP and many cities are becoming modernized. Still many people are in poverty and live in slums. Due to companies not paying their employees properly they can't get out of poverty. Since the employees aren't educated they don't know they should get paid a lot more for the jobs they do.

There isn't a proper recycling system. Many people just throw garbage everywhere including rivers so people below the poverty line can't get proper water. The unsanitary conditions of India allow the life expectancy to be low due to this.

Economic Development in India

India is ranked 10 in industrial output.The biggest industry is retail and wholesale trade which takes up 23% of the industry. Many foreign companies outsource their jobs into India and build many factories. The factories employ many people but also make a lot of pollution and allow diseases to spread easily.

India is the second largest producer of farm produce. Agriculture industry, apart from farming, also includes forestry, horticulture and fishing. It employs almost half the population of India and makes a contribution of 15.7% to the GDP.

How This Affects Norway's Economy

Norway VS India

Norway is a very developed country and they're ranked 27 out of 178 countries for economic freedom. The poverty and unemployment rates are very low which shows that most people in Norway have jobs and are living comfortably. This is most likely possible because the literacy rate in Norway is 100% which means that the whole adult population can read and write which is very important when it comes to getting a job.

There is also free healthcare in Norway and most people have access to clean water. This contributes largely to the life expectancy being so high and the death rates being so low. This can affect the economy because the more people that die the less people are consuming and working and contributing to the economy, so that is why life expectancy and death rates are important to the economy.

Free the Children and India

One organization that helps India is Free the Children. Free the Children focuses on issues with gender equality, sustainability, child labor, community engagement, and local knowledge. Free the Children have already helped by doing things like building and refurbishing schools and healthcare centers as well as organizing womens alternative income groups and more. Free the Children also helps to educate the women and girls in communities to help break the cycle of poverty. Another thing Free the Children does is help so that communities can self sustain and not have to rely on charity.
