• Examples of Africa and Europe:

Map 4: Regional HDI African Continent
How can you explain these regional differences in Africa?

Describe the regional discrepancies in Europe

Map 6: Number of High Income Households for Each County in the US 2007-2011
Where is wealth concentrated geographically in the U.S.?

Map 6: Annual per Capital Income by Province in China (blue above the mean (= average), orange below the mean
How would you characterize the distribution of wealth in China?
Case of the South:
Contrast between development in China on the coast and inland, concentration of wealth in urban areas (Beijing and Shanghai) BUT map does not show the concentration of poorest population in slums or insolubrious conditions in cities

III. Changing needs for 9 B people in 2050
A. World population growth increases development disparities
1. Demographic growth at different pacesDemographic transition – spread throughout southern countries from
1900 to 1950 – ceased in the first half of the 20th century in
industrialized countries

Consequences:– Today part of subsaharan Africa and the Middle
East are still in the stage of demographic explosion– In India and China, demographic transition is
coming to an end but it has caused an effect of inertia. Even if fertility rates have decreased, the generation at an age to procreate remains numerous

2. Increased Needs:• Vital necessities (food, water, energy and
medical care)• Lack of resources for the largest number

3. Bigger Gaps:• Between northern and southern
countries• Between southern countries who have
completed their demographic transition and those who are still undergoing demographic transition

population pyramid• graphical illustration that shows the distribution
of various age groups in a population which forms the shape of a pyramid when the population is growing. It is also used to determine the overall age distribution of a population;
• population plotted on the X-axis and age on the Y-axis, one showing the number of males and one showing females in a particular population in five-year age groups

Population Pyramids and Demographic Transition
Stage 1: balance between birth rate and death rate, very slow increase of the population
Stage 2: decline in the death rate while the birth rate remains high. Causes: improvement in food supplies and public health
Stage 3: decline in the birth rate, Causes: birth control, children become an added expense for the familyStage 4: birth rate and death rate at the same level: stability of the population.

• Between towns and countryside: in 2010, more than 50% urban dwellers on earth (should go to 70% in 2050); population will be concentrated in cities
Urbanization
![Page 19: Regional Inequalities of Development Examples of Africa and Europe:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e2e5503460f94b1df73/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• If urbanization is stabilized in the North, it is exploding in the south• Causes? Massive rural flight and natural growth rates
in cities• Giant agglomerations are multiplying in emerging
countries. In Asia, the urban population is rising at the rate of 1 million inhabitants per week.
