Economic growth around the world

The following table shows levels of real income per person in several economies during the years $1960$ and $2010.$ The table further shows the average annual growth rate for each economy over this time period. For instance, real income per person in Zambia was $$1,412$ in $1960,$ and it actually declined to $$1,309$ by $2010.$ Zambia's average annual growth rate during this period was $-0\mathrm{.}15\%,$ and it featured the lowest level of real income per person of any economy listed in the table in the year $2010.$

The levels of real income per person are reported in U$.$S$.$ dollars using a base year of $2005.$ The following exercises will provide insight into the different growth experiences of these nations.
