Will a developed country have a high or low score for the below GDP GDP per capita GNI Doctors GINI Gender HDI Corruption
High High High High High Even Low Low
Explain why HDI is considered a composite indicator of development
It has more than one factor that is used to order the number of countries in order of all the factors for example if they have good numbers of all of the factors then they will be lower on the scale however if they have poor factors then they will be high meaning that they are emerging or developing
Explain why solely using GDP might give an inaccurate view of development
GDP is gross domestic products is the total value of all the goods which is not a good view as a company could be raising it by a lot where as the rest of the country is doing horribly
Write out 4 key words for each dmographic indicator listed below Birth rate Death rate Fertility Infant mortality Maternal mortality Life expectancy Will these increase or decrease with development
Births per thousand women- decrease Death rates per 1000 people - decrease Number of pregnancy per 1000 women - decrease 1st birthday, living, more - increase Women living after birth - increase Expected years of life - increase
Compare how demographic data changes as a country develops
The changes will be that there will be less young children with more young working adults and less elderly but they will live longer
Explain why fertility rte decreases as a country develops.
It decrease because it gts really expensive to have a baby where the land is expensive and as a country develops the land will get really expensive
Explain how social factors ( health and education ) have caused global inequalities in development.
Richer wealth means more disposable wealth meaning that they can spend more this creates inequalities because they can buy more land meaning other people will have less land meaning they will not develop as much as richer people
Explain how historexplain how historical factors ( colonialism) have caused global inequalities in development
This has more connections to other places which creates inequalities because trade will be cheaper and you can trade to other countries as well meaning development is easier and maybe quicker
Explain how economic and political factors (THCs, neo-colonialism, governance, trade) have caused global inequalities

Explain how economic and political factors (TNCs, neo-colonialism, governance, trade) have caused global inequalities
This restricts methods of trading and ease of trading meaning that trade will be harder and more money will be needed to be spent meaning that money will be lost meaning that it will be harder for the country to develop
Assess the significance of economic and political factors in affecting how a developed a country is
The economy should be good with less corruption. The economy if the country means that money is being spent well and if not the country is jot as developed. The corruption rate should be low as voting should be open to all the people and the voting should be counted fairly. Other factors may be important but not as much of the economy and corruption
How do global inequalities in development affect peoples’ lives in developing countries
The core and developed countires may take advantage of developing and periphery countries by buying materials for less money meaning that the developing countries will have less money to invest into the countries development
List the stages of Rostow’s modernisation theory
Traditional society Preconditions for take off Take off Drive to maturity High mass consumption
Explain changes in economy that occur at the take off stage
.
Explain how demographic factors have prevented development in Malawi
Infant mortality means that the children will not be as likely to live to the age of one year old meaning that jobs will not be take by those kids when they grow up meaning that taxes will not be paid to the government meaning that less money will be invested into the country
Dependancy ratio is how many elderly and young people work compared to all the people working and normal working age. The lower this number is the better but Malawi has a high number as money is needed by everyone so the young and elderly have to work
Explain one way which topography affects economic development
Steep land is a problem especially for countries in traditional society as they need land to grow food on and as steep land has very little soil less things can be grown and this means that less can be sold also steep hills are prone to have land slides meaning that crops that they are growing to sell will be gone meaning that they will have to restart as their source of money will have to be reset
Franks theory
More manufactured goods are being given to the periphery as imports also the exports are worth less compared to the imports meaning that they sre losing money
