Question 2

When asked; Choose two of the development indicators shown and explain, in detail, why they are useful in helping to show a country’s level of development. What should be said about life expectancy and % of People employed in agriculture?

Answer 2

Life Expectancy

• Very useful development indicator as people who live in developed countries have a higher life expectancy.
• Better health care in developed countries (more doctors and hospitals) result in a higher life expectancy in that area.
• Higher life expectancy can be caused by a better standard/better care for the elderly in developed countries
• Access to clean water and sanitation in developed countries, increases life expectancy
• Poor food supply/famine decreases life expectancy in developing countries

% of People employed in agriculture
- As there a good education and job opportunities in developed countries, there is a low number of people employed in agriculture in these countries.

• In developing countries there are lots of subsistence farmers who have to grow food to eat
• As farming is so efficient in developed countries, few farmers are required.
