This assignment asks you questions related to the economic context of your country. Remember to search for up-to-date data (data from sometime in the past five years) and don’t just include the first data you find. The most current data are of course the best data. Please use reputable sources, like the World Bank, IMF, IHME, or other UN agencies such as the WHO, IOM, ILO, etc. In general, websites that end in “.org” are better than for-profit companies whose websites end in “.com” or “.net”
