Which of the following is generally not an effect of having high rates of infectious disease (like malaria) within a population? a. high health care costs b. high infant mortality rates c. high economic growth rates d. high absenteeism in the workplace select the best answer from the choices provided. a b c d

Among the options given on the question option C is the best choice.

High economic growth rates.

Explanation: When a country's population is attacked with an infectious disease like malaria there are many effects. The health care costs of the government goes high as the people get affected more. On the other hand due to the sickness many people could not attend to their workplace .So there is a higher absent rate in the work place. Children are most vulnerable for disease like malaria. So infant mortality rate goes high for the disease. But high economic growth is not likely to be the effect of a disease like malaria.
