THINK what did we do last lesson?
BUT…why do you think we did it???
REMEMBER NO SHOUTING OUT!!!
How do we know if a country is an LEDC or
MEDC???
LEDC MEDC
Development indicatorsLO:
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?
Before we can go any further
What does DEVELOPMENT mean ???
• Think about this individually.
• Then share with your partner.
• Then we will let the dice decide on some answers.
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?*
• 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)?
Development indicatorsSocial measures Economic measures
Birth rate
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) $
Trade
.
Using the map describe the distribution of wealth / income that it shows
Infant mortality map
A comparison of BR and GNI
The Human Development Index HDI• Another way to look ay measuring development is the HDI -
Life expectancy, education and GDP are taken into account.

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.
Question
Using countries you have studied as examples discuss how LEDCs and MEDCs differ in their level of development
Home work
Due next week - measuring development sheet. Answers in your book/ paper
What most important to you?
Money Family Friends Clean water
Being healthy Being happy Love Toilet Food SexRank these of importanceWhat cant you live without??Extension: now do a list that someone might have in an LEDC
homework
Have you got it…… be honest….
Ben and Elliot – I need your homework that was due last monday
Standard vs. Quality
LOs:To understand the difference between standard of living and quality of life
To explain how people in poorer countries can improve their quality of life
Standard of living
Standard of living – takes into account GDP per capita.
People on a dollar a dayhttp://www.worldmapper.org/posters/worldmapper_map179_ver5.pdf
Quality of life
The Quality of life is different to standard of livingThis measure whether people have a longer life expectancy, literacy and number of years spent in school, and GDP.
It also takes into account a safe, clean environment, voting rights, rights to privacy.
Matopeni – slum in Nairobi (Capital of Kenya. 60% of people in Nairobi live in places like this.
No clean drinking water, no toilets, no education or
healthcare.
What should be done?
In pairs think of what could be
done to improve the quality of life
You will be presenting to the rest of the class what you think should be done
Write it in your book!

Organised rubbish collectionEducates people about health
The development gap
What happens as rich places get richer and poor places get poorer? LO: to understand how the physical and human factors make the gap between richer and poor countries wider.
There is a big development gap between the richest and poorer countries. Factors make the gap wider.
Case study spider diagram
Explain how access to safe water can improve people’s standard of living. (500 words)
What is the problemInclude statisticsHow this is linked to GDPWhat charities could doHow would clean water reduce the gap
