S1 Global Citizenship Unit
INSTRUCTIONS TO PUPILS
This unit is about inequality around the world different ways in which countries areunequal.
You will each be given a sheet with one example of inequality.
Firstly, you need to read the sheet and find out the worst country for this example of
inequality.
Then you need to collect another sheet about that country.
You will need to do some research at home on the internet.
Your main task is to tell the rest of the class about this example of inequality.
What you need to tell the class
y The best and worst countries for your example of
inequality
y Why this example of inequality is important
y In more detail, why the worst country is the worst
You need to make your talk as fascinating, dramatic and entertaining as possible, so
that everyone sits up and takes notice.
So think about the best way of getting across your information.
A few ploys:
y Start either with a dramatic statement
- This will seriously improve your knowledge.....
- Can you believe that ....
- This would be unbelievable if it were not true .......
y Or at least an interesting one
- Did you know.....
y Or, possibly an interesting short story
- It was a sunny Tuesday morning and 12 year olds Divya and Anna were
busy looking after cattle. They could see other children going to school, but they were not allowed to go ....
y Then, when talking about the worst country, don¶t drone on and on but reduce
what is being said to a few bullet points
- Eg Ther e are 4 main rea sons for this ... 1 ...

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² OLYMPIC MEDALS
Countries are unequal in terms of
how manyO
lympic medals theyhave won.
The United Kingdom has won 106medals for every 10 millionpeople.
The table over the page gives youthe Olympic medals won in 80 countries in the world, includingthose with the highest and lowest numbers.
y The number of summer Olympic medals won by each country
since 1906 has been added up. Because the USA has far more
people than the UK, you would expect it to win more medals. So
the number of medals a country has won is worked out for
every 10 million people in that country now.
y Gold, silver and bronze medals have been included.
y The number of Olympic medals won is one way of measuring
how successful a country is at sport.
y In the world as a whole, a group of 10 million people on average
has won 56 medals.
y The number of Olympic medals won is much higher in rich
countries of the world than in poorer countries.

Vietnam(fewest Olympic
medals)
Vietnam is a long, narrow, S-shaped
country in south-east Asia. It is a little
bigger than the United Kingdom. It is a mixture of tropical lowlands
and forested mountains and it has a monsoon climate, with extremely
heavy rain for part of the year and dry weather for the rest.
Vietnam is a poor country. Nearly half of its people live on less than
£1 a day. The government has little money because few people can
afford to pay taxes and it does not sell many goods abroad. (Do you
know of any goods in shops here which are made in Vietnam?). So the country
has to use its money to build schools, roads and hospitals. It does
not have enough for sports facilities.
The facilities it does have are in cities and most people live in the
countryside. It is not easy to travel to the cities.
Most of the children in Vietnam do not receive a proper diet. There
are a lot of diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis. As a result
most Vietnamese are not as strong physically as they should be.
The government is now providing free health care for everyone and
making sure everyone has safe drinking water. So in future the
people should be healthier. The government is also improving sports
facilities and providing the best trainers for their athletes. They
are improving the medical and physio support for athletes as well.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² UNEMPLOYMENT
Countries are unequal in how
many people are unemployed.In the United Kingdom theunemployment rate is 5%, whichmeans that one adult out oftwenty is out of a job.
The table over the page tells youthe unemployment rate in 100
countries, including the worst countries (with the highest rate) andthe best (with the lowest rate).
y The unemployment rate is the percentage of adults who do not
have a job.
y Unemployment does change a lot. These figures are for 2007.
y Investigating the unemployment rate in a country is very useful
because it tells us a lot about the standard of living of the
people there. A very high unemployment rate tells us that
there are not enough jobs in that country and that most people
will have little money.
y In the whole world the unemployment rate is 14%.
y Unemployment is lowest in the Developed countries and highest
in the Developing countries. This is made worse by the fact
that unemployed people in the Developed world will receive
some money (as unemployment benefit). Unemployed people in
the developing world receive nothing.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² TELEPHONES
Countries are unequal in the number
of telephones that people have.
In the United Kingdom there are1610 telephone subscribers forevery one thousand people in thecountry. The table on the next page gives
you the number of telephone subscribers in 100 countries in theworld, including those with the highest and lowest number of
telephones.
y Telephone subscribers are the people who pay for the
telephone. In your house that will probably be one of your
parents who pays for the landline. Hutchesons· Grammar School
is also a telephone subscriber.
y Both landline and mobile phones are counted.
y There are only 625 telephone subscribers for every thousand
people in the world.
y Telephone ownership is a useful statistic because it tells us a
lot about how rich the people in a country are.
y Telephone ownership is much higher in the rich Developed
countries than the poorer Developing countries.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² SUICIDES
Countries are unequal in terms
of how many people take theirown lives.
For every one million peopleliving in the United Kingdom,110 commit suicide.
The table on the next pagegives you the suicide rate of 76countries in the world, including
those with the lowest and highest rates. The ¶worst· country has thehighest number and the ¶best· country has the lowest number.
y Investigating suicides is useful because it tells us something
(but not everything) about how happy and contented people
are.
y The average suicide rate in the world is 195 in every one million
people. This means that over one million people living on this
planet will take their own lives.
y Suicide rates are much higher in the rich countries of the
world compared with the poor countries.
y And suicide rates are also higher in colder areas than warmer
areas.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² SANITATION
Countries are unequal in terms of how
many people have proper sanitation.Everyone in the United Kingdom hasaccess to proper sanitation.
The table over the page tells you howmany people in 100 countries in the
world have proper sanitation, includingthose with the highest and lowest
percentages.
y Proper sanitation means that sewage is disposed of safely.
y In the United Kingdom every house and building has toilets
which are connected to sewers. These take our waste to
treatment plants where it is made safe before being deposited
in rivers or the sea.
y Investigating sanitation is useful because, if sewage is not
disposed of safely, it will contaminate water or land and spread
killer diseases.
y 74% of the world·s people have access to proper sanitation.
Unfortunately, this means that nearly 2 million people have to
live in conditions in which it is almost impossible to avoid
disease.
y The percentage of people with safe water is higher in the rich
countries of the world compared with the poor countries.y And the percentage of people with safe water is higher in
towns than in the countryside.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² SAFE WATER
Countries are unequal in
terms of how many peopledrink clean water.
Everyone in the UnitedKingdom has access towater that has beencleaned and is safe to drink.
The table over the pagetells you how many people in 100 countries in the world are able to
drink safe water, including those with the highest and lowestpercentages.
y Safe water is water that is not polluted. It may have come
from deep underground or it may have been cleaned and then
piped to people·s houses.
y Investigating access to safe water is useful because polluted
water is one of the main ways in which diseases are spread.
People who are not able to drink clean, safe water are much
more likely to suffer from disease.
y 83% of the world·s people have access to safe water.
Unfortunately, this means that 1,100,000 people do not.
y The percentage of people with safe water is higher in the rich
countries of the world compared with the poor countries.y And the percentage of people with safe water is higher in
towns than in the countryside.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² ROADS
Countries are unequal in terms of
how many roads they have.
In the United Kingdom we have alot of proper paved roads. Thereare 633 kilometres of paved roadfor every 100,000 people.
The table on the next page gives you the number of roads in 100
countries in the world, includingthose which have the most and
the least.
y We use the number of paved roads for every 100,000 people in
the country because it gives us a good idea of how good the
road network is for the people who live there.
y In the whole world there are 211 kilometres of paved road for
every 100,000 people.
y The number of paved roads is a useful statistic because it tells
us how easy it is to travel around the country. It tells us
something about the standard of living there because if there
are not many paved roads, presumably, not many people have
cars.
y The number of roads is much higher in the rich Developed
countries than the poorer Developing countries.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² POPULATION DENSITY
Countries are unequal interms of how many
crowded they are.
In the United Kingdomthere are, on average,245 people for everysquare kilometre of thecountry.
The table over the page gives you the population density of 100
countries in the world, including those which are the most andleast crowded.
y Population density tells us how crowded a country is. It is
calculated by dividing the country·s population by its area,
which gives an answer in people per square kilometre.
y At the start of 2010 the world·s population was 6.8 billion. If
you divide this figure by the earth·s land area (150 million
square kilometres), the average population density in the world
is 45 per sq.km.
y Investigating population density is useful because, all other
things being equal, very crowded countries must find it much
harder to provide food, jobs and houses for everyone living
there.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² MURDERS
Countries are unequal in terms
of how dangerous it is to livethere.
For every one million peopleliving in the United Kingdom,four are murdered every year.
The table on the next pagegives you the murder rate of
60 countries in the world,including the safest and the most dangerous. The safest has thelowest number and the most dangerous has the highest number.
y The murder rate is worked out by looking at an average one
million people living in that country, and then calculating how
many are murdered each year.
y In the world as a whole, the average murder rate is 100 people
for every one million people living in that country. It is the
same as 0.01%.
y It is useful to look at murder rate for the very obvious reason
that it tells us a lot about the amount of crime in the country,
which must affect people·s quality of life. Everyone wants tolive in a safe environment but these figures tell us that people
in many countries cannot feel very safe.
y Murders are a little higher in Developing countries than
Developed countries, but there are a lot of exceptions to this.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² LITERACY
Countries are unequal in terms of how many adults can read and
write.99% of all the adults in theUnited Kingdom can read andwrite. This still means thatthere are half a million adultswho cannot read or write.
The table over the page gives you the literacy rate of 100
countries in the world,including those with thehighest and lowest rates.
y Literacy is the ability to read and write. Someone who can read
and write is literate; if they cannot, they are illiterate.
y Investigating literacy is useful because it tells us something
about the quality of life of the people in that country. If an
adult cannot read or write, this must give him/her huge
problems in daily life.
y The average literacy rate in the world is 83.6%. This means
that roughly 5 out of every 6 adults can read and write.
y Literacy rates are higher in the rich countries of the world
compared with the poor countries.
y And, in almost every country, more men can read and write
than women.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² LIFE EXPECTANCY
Countries are unequal in terms of
how long the people there canexpect to live.
People in the United Kingdom canexpect to live for 78.9 years, butthere are big differences evenbetween different parts ofGlasgow.
The table on the next page gives you the life expectancy of 100
countries in the world, including those with the highest and lowestlife expectancies.
y Life expectancy is the number of years a person can expect to
live, on average, in that country.
y The average life expectancy in the world is 64 years.
y Life expectancy is a very useful statistic because it tells us a
lot about how healthy people are and healthy conditions are in
that country.
y Life expectancy is much higher in the rich Developed countries
than the poorer Developing countries.
y In almost all of the countries in the world, women live longer
than men, on average. And people in cities generally live longer
than people in the countryside.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² INCOME
We are unequal in terms of our income.I
f you were to take the average of everyone·sannual income in the United Kingdom, it comesto $24,486.The table below and on the next page gives you the average annual (yearly) income of100+ countries in the world, including both therichest and poorest.
y Income is the amount of money that a person receives in a
year. It is usually calculated in dollars so that it can be
compared between countries.
y The average person in the world has an annual income of
$5737.
y
It is useful to compare average incomes in different countriesbecause it tells us a lot about how wealthy people are.
y But there are some problems in comparing countries in terms
of their incomes. In some countries the cost of living is much
lower, so you can buy a lot more with your money than in other
countries.
y Average income is much higher in the Developed countries thanthe Developing countries.
y In almost all of the countries in the world, women live longer
than men, on average. And people in cities generally live longer
than people in the countryside.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² HAPPINESS
Countries are unequal in terms of
how happy their people are.A sample of people in each countrywas asked whether they were, onthe whole, very happy, quite happy,not very happy, or not at all happy.
38% of people in the United Kingdom said that they were on thewhole very happy. 55% said they were quite happy, leaving 7%who were generally unhappy.
The table over the page gives you the happiness rate in 50countries in the world, including those with the highest andlowest rates.
y Happiness is not easy to measure. It was done by asking a
sample of people how happy they usually are
y Investigating happiness is interesting because it tells ussomething about the quality of life of the people in that
country. But we must remember it is not easy to measure it
accurately, so the results may be wrong.
y There appears to be an equal number of happy and unhappy
people in the world. 23% of all the people consider themselves
to be, on the whole, happy. Another 23% consider themselves
to be unhappy.y There seems to be no obvious difference between happiness
levels in rich and poor countries.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² CHILDREN
Countries are unequal in terms of how many children women
have.Women in the United Kingdom have, onaverage, 1.8 children. Two children arethe most common but many women have just one child. Fewer have three or more,and some have no children at all. So itaverages out at 1.8.
The table over the page gives you thenumber of children per family in 100countries in the world, including those
with the highest and lowest rates.
y The figures actually tell us the fertility rate, how many
children each woman in a country has in her lifetime.
y Investigating fertility-rates is useful because countries with ahigh fertility-rate have a very rapidly-growing population,
which they must find more and more difficult to feed.
y In the world as a whole, the average number of children that a
woman has in the world is 3.0.
y Fertility-rates are higher in the poor countries of the world
compared with the rich countries.
y If a country has a fertility rate of less than 2, its totalpopulation will start to decrease. If it is more than two, it will
increase. The higher the fertility rate, the faster the
population will grow.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² FERTILIZER USE
Countries are unequal in terms of how much
fertilizer farmers put on to their land.Farmers in the United Kingdom put 3113grammes of fertilizer onto each 100 squaremetres of land every year.
The table over the page gives you thefertilizer use of 100 countries in the world,including those with the highest and lowestrates.
y Fertilizer is the name given to anything which makes the land
more fertile, so that crops grow better. Common fertilizers
include potash, phosphates and lime.
y Fertilizer use is measured by the amount put on to every 100
square metres of arable (crop) land in that country in a year.y Investigating how much fertilizer farmers use is useful
because it tells us whether the farmers are able to improve
their land. If few farmers have fertilizers, it is more difficult
for that country to grow more food.
y In the world as a whole, the average amount of fertilizer on
every 100 square metres of arable land is 1385 grammes.
y Fertilizer use is higher in the rich Developed countries of the
world compared with the poorer Developing countries.

Countries are unequal in terms of how
much electricity they use.Each person in the United Kingdomuses 5774 kilowatt hours of electricityeach year.
The table over the page gives you theelectricity use in 100 countries in theworld, including those with the highestand lowest uses. The lowest user hasthe poorest quality of life.
y We measure our electricity use in units called kilowatt hours.
The electricity generated in all of a country·s power stations is
calculated and then divided by its number of people. This gives
an answer in kilowatt hours per person (capita).
y It is useful to investigate electricity consumption because it
tells us quite a lot about the quality of life of the people in
that country. If the people do not use much electricity, they
presumably have few televisions, little central heating or
lighting and few factories.
y In the world as a whole, each person uses 5828 kwh ofelectricity each year.
y Electricity use is much higher in rich countries of the world
than poorer countries.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² EDUCATION
Countries are unequal in terms of how
many years their children have to go toschool.
In the United Kingdom it is compulsoryto go to school for 12 years.
The table over the page gives you thenumber of years of compulsory education
in 100 countries in the world, includingthose with the greatest and fewest years.
y Compulsory education is the number of years that a child must
attend school.
y Investigating the length of compulsory education is useful
because it tells us something about how well-educated the
children are in that country. If the children have spent many years in school, they should be able to take skilled,
professional and well-paid jobs and so be more useful to their
country.
y The average number of years of compulsory education in the
world is 8.8.
y But, just because a country has compulsory education, does not
mean they enforce it. In many areas, children do not go toschool if their parents need them at home ² or at work.
y Compulsory education is longer in the rich countries of the
world compared with the poor countries.

The table over the page gives you the amount of air pollution in100 countries in the world, including those with the highest andlowest uses. The highest user is the worst offender.
y Air pollution is caused by many gases and so it can be measured
in many ways.
y Carbon dioxide is a helpful way of measuring air pollution
because it is linked to global warming. Carbon dioxide is a
greenhouse gas, the more of it in the atmosphere, the moreour air heats up.
y It is useful to investigate air pollution because it tells us
something about the quality of life of the people in that
country: the cleaner the air, the better the quality of life of
the people there.
y In the world as a whole, each person puts 4.2 metric tonnes ofcarbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year.
y Air pollution is much higher in rich countries of the world than
in poorer countries.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² FOOD EATEN
Countries are unequal in
terms of how much food thepeople have to eat.
The average adult in theUnited Kingdom eats 3490calories per day. Adults need2500 calories to be healthy.
The table over the page gives you the calorie intake of most
countries in the world,including those with thehighest and lowest rates.
y Investigating the amount of food people eat is a very useful
way of measuring their quality of life. There is something
seriously wrong in a country if it cannot feed all of its people.
y We usually measure food eaten according to the number of
calories people take in each day.
y The average person in the world eats 2806 calories per day.
This is more than an adult needs to be healthy. So, if all the
food in the world was shared equally, no-one would be hungry.But, last year, one billion people across the world did not get
enough to eat.
y And another one billion people in the world ate so much they
were considered to be overweight.

OUR UNEQUAL WORLD ² FARMLAND
Countries are unequal in terms of how
useful their land is for farming.
70% of the land in the UnitedKingdom can be farmed. The rest istoo cold or too steep or too marshyto be used.
The table on the next page gives youthe amount of farmland in 100 countries in the world, including those
with the highest and lowest amounts.
y Farmland is measured as a percentage of the total land in the
country which is farmed.
y
I
nvestigating the amount of farmland is a useful way ofmeasuring the living standards of a country. It seems clear
that, the more land that can be farmed, the more well-off the
country is likely to be.
y If a country does not farm some of its land it is probably
because it is too dry or too cold or too steep to be worthwhile.
y On average in the world, 40% of all the land is farmed. If only
we could find ways of farming the rest. Just think how much
more food we could produce in the world.
