  2. The Human Development Index (HDI) includes measures of • access to knowledge. • a decent standard of living. • a long and healthy life. • all of the above • only a decent standard of living and long and healthy life.

  3. Gross national income (GNI) per capita is adjusted for purchasing power parity • so that countries with different costs of living may be more directly compared. • because otherwise large countries would have a higher GNI. • to compensate for income inequality. • because the role of different sectors of the economy varies between countries. • so that people can purchase more with their income.

  4. Which of the following education measures is the most forward-looking? • mean years of schooling • expected years of schooling • pupil/teacher ratio • high school graduation rate • literacy rate

  5. The Human Development Index (HDI) considers health by including • cellular telephones per 1,000 persons. • the cost of medical care. • the unemployment rate. • the number of hospitals per 100,000 persons. • life expectancy at birth.

  6. Examining inequality within a country reveals that • the inequality-adjusted HDI is usually close to the HDI. • wealth is concentrated. • developing countries have greater levels of inequality than developed countries. • developed countries have greater levels of inequality than developing countries. • inequality is lessening in developed countries.

  7. The index that measures development for women using the same dimensions as the HDI is the • Gender Inequality Index. • Gender-related Development Index. • female labor force participation rate. • Gender Empowerment Measure. • Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index.

  8. Women’s empowerment is measured in the Gender Inequality Index (GII) through the • adolescent fertility rate. • maternal mortality rate. • Gender Empowerment Measure. • percentage of women in the national legislature. • female labor force participation rate.

  9. The maternal mortality rate is an important measure of gender inequality because • it varies widely by world region and is specific to women. • both male and female infants are counted in the rate. • countries with high maternal mortality have low total fertility. • countries with high maternal mortality have low adolescent fertility. • it is unrelated to control of reproduction.

  10. The general relationship between HDI and GII is • that higher HDIs are associated with higher GIIs. • dependent on the number of women in a country. • positive. • that higher HDIs are associated with lower GIIs. • there is no clear relationship.

  11. Rostow’s model of development depends on • subsidies to inefficient industries. • international trade. • investment spread evenly across all sectors of the economy. • restrictions on imports. • self-sufficiency.

  12. Trade disagreements between member countries of the World Trade Organization (WTO) • are often left unresolved. • are encouraged because the WTO works to limit total international trade. • are usually resolved with military threats. • are heard and ruled on by the WTO. • involve the elected politicians of the disagreeing parties.

  13. Foreign direct investment may not be the most effective path to development because • most investment flows to already developed countries. • it is concentrated in the least developed countries. • relatively little goes to East Asia. • it results in high levels of debt. • not all projects succeed.

  14. International lenders may require a country seeking help with debt to • engage in microfinance. • adopt a self-sufficiency model of development. • have their debt forgiven and borrow more. • adopt a structural adjustment program including austerity measures. • increase the size of government.

  15. The movement attempting to create better working conditions and sustainable development through trade is called • free trade. • fair trade. • microfinance. • self-sufficiency. • cooperatives.

  16. Which statement most accurately reflects observed progress in development since 1980? • Developing countries are catching up to developed countries, which have not progressed. • Overall, the world is less developed today than in 1980. • Developing countries have become less developed. • Developed countries have developed faster than the developing countries. • Developed and developing countries have both increased development, but large gaps remain.
