  1. THINK what did we do last lesson? BUT…why do you think we did it??? REMEMBER NO SHOUTING OUT!!!

  2. How do we know if a country is an LEDC or MEDC??? LEDC MEDC

  3. Development indicators • LO: • Investigate less developed, developing and developed countries? • Look at how we measure development in countries. • How will achieve the lesson: • Understand what development means? • Look at development indicators in 10 countries. • Sort these countries out into 3 categories and locate them on a world map. • Analyse the location, is there a pattern?

  4. Before we can go any further • What does DEVELOPMENTmean ??? • Think about this individually. • Then share with your partner. • Then we will let the dice decide on some answers.

  5. What are development indicators? There is not a single way to calculate the level of development of a country. Geographers use a series of development indicators to compare the development of one country to another. *Can you think of any indicators?*

  6. Health. Does the population have access to medical care? • Industry. What type of industry dominates? LEDCs focus on primary industries, such as farming, fishing and mining. MEDCs focus on secondary industries, such as manufacturing. The most advanced countries tend to focus more on tertiary or service industries, such as banking and information technology. • Education. Do the population have access to education? Is it free? What level of education is available (ie primary, secondary or further/higher education)?

  7. Development indicators .

  8. Using the map describe the distribution of wealth / income that it shows

  9. Infant mortality map

  10. A comparison of BR and GNI

  11. The Human Development Index HDI • Another way to look ay measuring development is the HDI - Life expectancy, education and GDP are taken into account.

  12. Countries Development IndicatorsTask Lets visit 10 countries from around the world

  13. United Kingdom Population 65 million GDP ($US) 36039 Health 17 Life expectancy 78 Birth rates 12 Death rates 10 Urban 89% HDI 0.939 Employment tertiary 69% Employment primary 2%

  14. Russia Population 143million Employment primary 24% GDP ($US) 4078 Employment tertiary 29% Health 42 HDI 0.795 Life expectancy 71 Urban 53% Birth rates 10 Death rates 12

  15. Bangladesh Population 144million GDP ($US) 405 Health 2 Life expectancy 61 Birth rates 27 Death rates 8 Urban 23% HDI 0.520 Employment tertiary 19% Employment primary 65%

  16. Italy Population 58million GDP ($US) 29047 Health 61 Life expectancy 80 Birth rates 9 Death rates 10 Urban 1.4% HDI 0.934 Employment tertiary 60% Employment primary 9%

  19. China Population 1.3billion GDP ($US) 1272 Health 16 Life expectancy 72 Birth rates 12 Death rates 6 Urban 37% HDI 0.755 Employment tertiary 13% Employment primary 72%

  20. Ethiopia Population 77million GDP ($US) 116 Health <1 Life expectancy 48 Birth rates 41 Death rates 16 Urban 15% HDI 0.367 Employment tertiary 12% Employment primary 86%

  21. United States of America Population 300million Employment primary 3% GDP ($US) 39752 Employment tertiary 28% Health 55 HDI 0.944 Life expectancy 78 Urban 79% Birth rates 14 Death rates 8

  22. Jamaica Population 3million Employment primary 25% GDP ($US) 3013 Employment tertiary 52% Health 9 HDI 0.738 Life expectancy 73 Urban 10% Birth rates 19 Death rates 6

  23. Label a map • 1 for developed • 1 for developing • 1 for less developed

  24. Using the indicators work out • Using the data from the countries identify if you think the country is developed, developing or less developed? • Once you have decided try to order the countries into a rank of where you think they would come – from best to lowest.

  25. Question Using countries you have studied as examples discuss how LEDCs and MEDCs differ in their level of development

  26. Home work Due next week - measuring development sheet. Answers in your book/ paper

  37. Use pages 234 -5
