think the important differences between vital statistics and health
statistics are? Why are maternal and neonatal mortality important
indicators of the health of a population? What does DALY stand for

workers. Public policy affects urban economic growth by shifting
the city's demand and supply curves. a) Do subsidy programs (tax abatement, industrial bonds,

program decreases the city's total employment? Also explain using a
graph.
