  9. Jobs “Most jobs in our country are low paid and unskilled. Most people work within the primary industry like farming and mining”

  10. Trade – Buying & Selling “We have to sell raw materials like coal and food at really low prices to MEDCs. However, we have to buy our manufactured good (machines, clothes, electrical goods) from MEDCs at high prices”.

  11. Population – Life & Death “We have a very high birth rate because of a lack of sex education and contraception. We have a very high death rate because of a lack of medicine and doctors. Lots of children die and you are not expected to live past 50 years old. Life is difficult” Death Rate = Number of people that die per 1000 people per year Birth Rate = Number of people that are born Per 1000 people per year

  12. Health “A developing country like ours has a lot less money to spend on training up doctors and nurses and providing medicines, hospitals and dentists to it’s people”.

  13. Education “There are lots of children in our country (high birth rate) but there is no money to build good schools or to buy books and computers for the students. This means few people can read and write. As a result we have a low literacy rate”

  25. How do we judge our wealth? GNP – Gross National Product (US$) This is the total amount of money made by the country from selling it’s raw materials, manufactured goods and services. This figure is then divided by the total number of people that live there to give the average amount of money available to each person living there.

  26. Note: £1 is worth nearly $2 Examples of GNP USA = $39,820 UK = $33,630 Rwanda = $210 Ethiopia = $110 Task Find out the GNP of: Qatar India Canada Which is MEDC? Which is LEDC?

  27. A personal view on QUALITY OF LIFE “People walking along a street in a western city rarely seem to smile. They look harassed and under pressure. Perhaps it is the strain of work or trying to find a job, of paying the mortgage or finding a home. In contrast, people in the poorer countries which I have visited such as Kenya, Thailand and Malaysia seem to be very much more cheerful, laid back and relaxed, and always prepared to help the visitor. Socially and culturally they are in no way ‘less developed’” Which society appears to have the preferable quality of life? Which society appears to be more developed? Why

  28. What is development? In a broader sense the notion of human development incorporates all aspects of individuals’ well-being, from their health status to their economic and political freedom. Definitions of development can be complex and often have a cultural basis. Development involves education, health, democracy, human rights, income, well-being and sustainability. Poverty is a key factor in development and measurements of poverty may vary from country to country and region to region.

  29. One definition that is often quoted is that it represents an ‘ideal state to be achieved by human effort’. This implies that development should be concerned with enhancing human rights and welfare and not just with improving people’s income or wealth. Making progress towards development has no single recipe because of the social, cultural and economic diversity of the global population
