Consider a Melanesian island nation in the South Pacific, which had a population of 0.88 million in 2010. The table below presents the nominal GDP and the GDP deflator (based on 2005 being the base year) for the years 2010, 2015 and 2020. Year Nominal GDP ($millions) GDP Deflator 2010 17500 103.7 2015 18222 104.8 2020 18755 105.9 Over each 5-year period, there were no significant changes to goverment policies or capital investment, and the country experienced a net migration of 0%. However, over the first five years (2010 to 2015), the growth rate of births was 12.5% while the growth rate of deaths was 7.5%. This resulted in a 5% population growth. Over the second five years (2015 to 2020), health care significantly improved such that the growth rate of births increased to 15% while the growth rate of deaths decreased to 5%. In 2010 employment population ratio is 64%. What is the real GDP per worker in 2010.
