Let's break down each part of the question step-by-step using the data provided.
1. Consider the percentage of population living in poverty for each country in the given years.
| Country | 1987-1988 | 1993-1995 |
|---------|-----------|-----------|
| Romania | 6 | 48 |
| Hungary | 1 | 7 |
| Poland | 6 | 10 |
| Russia | 2 | 39 |
| Ukraine | 2 | 26 |
2. Calculate the change in percentage for each country.
- Romania: [tex]\(48 - 6 = 42\)[/tex]
- Hungary: [tex]\(7 - 1 = 6\)[/tex]
- Poland: [tex]\(10 - 6 = 4\)[/tex]
- Russia: [tex]\(39 - 2 = 37\)[/tex]
- Ukraine: [tex]\(26 - 2 = 24\)[/tex]
So, the changes in the percentage of the population living in poverty are:
- Romania: 42%
- Hungary: 6%
- Poland: 4%
- Russia: 37%
- Ukraine: 24%
3. Determine if the overall percentage of population living in poverty in Europe increased or decreased.
Since all the countries listed show an increase in the percentage of the population living in poverty from 1987-1988 to 1993-1995, overall, the percentage of people living in poverty in Europe increased during this period.
4. Identify the country with the greatest jump in the percentage of the population living in poverty.
Comparing the increases:
- Romania: 42%
- Hungary: 6%
- Poland: 4%
- Russia: 37%
- Ukraine: 24%
Romania had the greatest jump, with an increase of 42%.
5. Filling out each statement:
- The percentage of people living in poverty in Europe increased from 1987 to 1995.
- The country with the greatest jump in percentage of population living in poverty was Romania.
- The contributing factor would likely be the economic and political changes occurring during this period, such as the transition from communism to market economies in Eastern European countries.
Therefore, combining all these findings, we complete the statements as follows:
The percentage of people living in poverty in Europe increased from 1987 to 1995.
The country with the greatest jump in percentage of population living in poverty was Romania.
According to what you have learned in the lesson, the transition from communism to market economies was a contributing factor to the trends shown on the chart.
Ensuring that all parts of the question are answered clearly and precisely.
