State two ways in which the spread of HIV/AIDS in Kenya may slow down economic development

Answer Text:
- The sickness leads to absenteeism from work/reduced productivity.
- Money spent in treating the sick could be used for other economic activities.
- Deaths resulting from the disease lead to loss of economically productive population.
- Care-takers at family level use more time caring for the sick/orphans instead of engaging in economic activities/high dependency ratio.
