Questions• Review map characteristics• Which regions/continents have the lowest
percent living on less than $1/day?• Which regions/continents have the highest
percentage living on less than $1/day?• Where do you think your country fits on the
map?• NOTE: $1/day is the accepted “international poverty line” but each country
has its own poverty line

So what?
• What does this mean?• What does standard of living mean?• What is quality of life?• After establishing definitions of standard of
living and quality of life, develop a hypothesis
![Page 6: Global Poverty: Poverty and Wealth Humanities-MYP Year 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4a5503460f94b3e94d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
More Definitions• standard of living the level of wealth, comfort,
material goods, and necessities available to a certain socioeconomic class in a certain geographic area– income, quality/availability of employment, poverty rate,
quality/affordability of housing, GDP, costs of goods/services, infrastructure, political stability, religious freedom
• quality of life not only the material standard of living , but also non-tangible aspects such as leisure, safety, cultural resources, social life, health, environment, etc.
• Socioeconomic relating or involving both economics and social factors

Some things to think about….
• Other ways to measure standard of living– access to certain goods (amount of refrigerators
per 1000 people)– life expectancy– The ease in which someone can satisfy their needs
and wants• Can 2 countries that have similar standards of
living have very different quality of life? Explain.

HDI (human development index)
![Page 9: Global Poverty: Poverty and Wealth Humanities-MYP Year 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4a5503460f94b3e94d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
HDI
• The human development index is one way of examining standard of living
• It includes 3 dimensions health, education, and living standards
• The dimensions are divided into 4 indicators:– Health life expectancy at birth– Education average years of schooling & expected
years of schooling– Living standards gross national income per capita
(average amount of money the typical citizen makes per year)

For example…• CANADA (North America) 6– Health Life expectancy=81 years old– Education Average years=17 years in school– Living standard GNI per capita=$35,166
• NEPAL (Asia) 157– Health Life expectancy=69 years old– Education Average years=9 years in school– Living standard GNI per capita=$1,160
![Page 11: Global Poverty: Poverty and Wealth Humanities-MYP Year 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e4a5503460f94b3e94d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
For example…
• Afghanistan (South Asia) 172– Health Life expectancy=48 years old– Education Average years=9 years in school– Living standard GNI per capita=$1, 416
• Luxembourg (Europe) 25– Health Life expectancy=80 years old– Education Average years=13 years in school– Living standard GNI per capita=$50,557

Now….
• Which country out of the examples do you think has the highest HDI?
• Explain.• The GNI per capita of Luxembourg is greater
than that of Canada, but…• Why?

Other waysto compare…
• Literacy rate• Amount of doctors per 1,000• Amount of hospital beds per 1,000• HIV/AIDS rate• Infant mortality rate• Unemployment rate• GDP
