Therefore, the answer is "It can hurt the economy by removing people from the workforce."
The second question is asking for a conclusion that can be drawn from the information in the chart. The chart shows the HIV/AIDS rates in different regions, with Africa having the highest rate. From this information, the conclusion that can be drawn is "Africa's total number of HIV/AIDS cases makes up close to 20% of the world's total AIDS cases."
