The Income per person is an average of how much money one person takes in. The children per women is an average per country of how many children a woman will have.

b. Economic Development is tied to these words by a higher life expectancy means a better economy in the medical sector.  The income per person is showing how wealthy a country is.  The children per women shows that if a woman has less children they have more time and money to spend on other things and can economically change the country for the better.

Part 2: Chart Analysis

Most Asian, American, and European countries have a higher life expectancy and have a higher income per person.  Most of Africa have a lower life expectancy and a lower income per person.  This shows that the African countries are Lower Developed Countries and Asian, American, and European countries are More Developed Countries.

b. The reasoning behind the African countries being LDC's and the Asian, American, and European countries being MDC's is the amount of economic development they have gone through and the amount of money and crops they are producing.
