Most recent was lasted from 2012-2014 Using the social studies equation, identify if the geography of Mozambique is good or bad and support your answer with data from above. Next, decide if the government is stable or unstable and support your answer with data. Finally, determine if the economy of Mozambique is strong or weak using data to support your choice. (6 points) Geography + Government = Economy Geography of Mozambique is good because it boarders the ocean. That is good for trade transportation and fishing. It also has coastal plains or flat land that would be good for farming, and developing towns, cities, roads, schools, etc. The government of Mozambique is unstable. It has only been an independent country for 42 years and it has also had multiple civil wars. The economy of Mozambique is weak. The per capita GDP is only $1,200 per year making it a developing country. They imports $1.9 Billion more than it exports. The unemployment rate is high at 17%. A good unemployment rate would be 10% or less.
