Geo- development issues
Ways of measuring development:
Development: becoming better, stronger and more advanced
Indicators:
Birth & death rate
Adult literacy rate
That all tells us about the standard of living of people in a
country.
Developed country’s: High level of development
Developing country’s: Low level of development
The three main aspects:
1: Economic aspects: how a country is doing financially
Indicator: per capita income
Aspect: Delevoping countries- earn income from primary
activities like fishing, farming, forestry and mining
Developed countries- earn income from secondary and
tertiary activities like providing services and manufacturing
goods
2: Social aspects: Their quality of life and their access to
social services
Developed countries have strong democracies where people
human rights, but in developing countries it is the opposite.
, Developing countries- third world countries
Developed countries- first world countries
3: Environmental aspects- ways that people use their natural
resources
Aspect: how sustainable the level of development in a
country is
Environmentally sustainable development causes as little
long-term damage as possible ensuring that there are
enough resources for future generation.
The Human Development index (HDI):
The HDI measures well-being and compares the level of
development of different countries.
The HDI is a range from 0-1, 0 being the worst quality of life,
1 being the best quality of life.
The 3 indicators:
1: Life expectancy
The estimated amount of years that a person is expected to
live for from birth to death.
Women generally have a longer life expectancy than men
due to the fact that in the olden day’s men had more
dangerous jobs and often did not make many good decisions.
Life expectancy increases due to improvements in medicine
and medical care.
Life expectancy decreases due to diseases like AIDS, HIV and
covid
