Impact of HIV/AIDS related deaths on the productivity of affected regions

Abstract

HIV/AIDS impacts demographics, since it has already killed more than 20 million people. HIV/AIDS is predicted 
to cause about 100 million additional deaths from a total of 500 million deaths in sub-Saharan Africa. This 
paper examines the impact of HIV/AIDS related deaths on the productivity of selected, affected regions. Data 
used in this study, was sourced from textbooks, journal articles and the internet. The T-test analytical 
technique was utilised to analyse collated data, whilst the finding show that there is a positive relationship 
between the HIV/AIDS pandemic and a decrease in global productivity owing to seriously affected regions.
