Question

What similarity exists between sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia that can explain the data presented in the graph?

Women own or rent much of the land cultivated for plantation crops, such as cacao, coffee, or tea.

In the subsistence-based rural economies in these regions, female farmers produce much of the food that their families need for survival.

In rural agricultural regions, women control the political and social lives of the community and consider farming as their primary role.

In tropical regions, soil and climate conditions are so favorable that little labor is required to farm crops.

In the shifting cultivation found in rainforest regions, women do the work of claiming land and clearing the forest of trees.

Answer 1

The answer is in the subsistence-based rural economies in these regions, female farmers produce much of the food that their families need for survival.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia are both developing, rural countries. The graph shows that these two countries have the highest percentage of women economically active in agriculture. This means that these percentages of women provide for their families in the rural economies of their countries.

Answer 2

B) In the subsistence-based rural economies in these regions, female farmers produce much of the food that families need for survival.

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 1980 and 2010, the percentage of women in rural workforce was relatively high for both of these regions. This information tells us that these women most likely have families they provide for and live within rural villages. We cannot assume women control the political and social lives of their communities from the given data.
