What is development?

Development means change. Usually in Geography we mean change for the better.

Different factors affect a countries level and speed of development:

Environmental

Economic

Education

Development indicatorsSocial measures Economic measuresBirth rate – This can indicatethat in developing countries the birth rate ishigh because people don’t have access toeducation / family planning. In developedcountries the birth rate is lower becausepeople have more access to these things.

Death rate

Infant mortality rate

Adult literacy rate

Doctor patient ratio

Life expectancy

Employment structure (primary, secondary, tertiary etc)

GDP ( total value of goods and services produced by a country in a year $)

GNI (gross national income- includes money earned overseas) $

For each measure of development, describe what it means AND explain how it can be used to show ‘development’.

Relative poverty

Absolute poverty

Birth rate – This can indicatethat in developing countries the birth rate ishigh because people don’t have access toeducation / family planning. In developedcountries the birth rate is lower becausepeople have more access to these things.

Death rate

Infant mortality rate

Adult literacy rate

Doctor patient ratio

Life expectancy

Employment structure (primary, secondary, tertiary etc) Developed countries will have more people working in service industries and tertiary jobs. Developing countries will often have more farming and subsistence - therefore primary jobs. Developing countries start to have more secondary jobs with people working in factories. This is in decline in richer countries.

GDP ( total value of goods and services produced by a country in a year $)

GNI (gross national income- includes money earned overseas) $

Example: Birth rate

Birth rate is the number of live births per

thousand people per year. This can indicate

that in developing countries the birth rate is

high because people don’t have access to

education / family planning. In developed

countries the birth rate is lower because

people have more access to these things.

The Human Development Index HDI• Another way to look at measuring development is the

HDI - Life expectancy, education and GDP are taken into account.
