Question
In which of the following ways, Infrastructure
contributes to economic development? (1) by increasing the productivity of the factors of production (2) improving the quality of life of its people (3) reducing morbidity Which of the above statement(s) is/are CORRECT?Solution
Infrastructure contributes to economic development of a country both by increasing the productivity of the factors of production and improving the quality of life of its people. Inadequate infrastructure can have multiple adverse effects on health. Improvements in water supply and sanitation have a large impact by reducing morbidity (meaning proneness to fall ill) from major waterborne diseases and reducing the severity of disease when it occurs. In addition to the obvious linkage between water and sanitation and health, the quality of transport and communication infrastructure can affect access to health care. Air pollution and safety hazards connected to transportation also affect morbidity, particularly in densely populated areas.
