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
LO:
Development indicators
 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 indicators
Social 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 incomeincludes 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
Sex
Rank these of importance
What 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 day
http://www.worldmapper.org/posters/worldma
Quality of life
The Quality of life is different to standard of
living
This 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!

What has been done
Christian Aid have donated money for ‘water

Residents have used the money to build 5
toilet and shower blocks.
Employed local people to clean and maintain
them.
They charge people a small fee for using them.
They use the money to improve other parts of
the community - emergency healthcare
Put in a well
Organised rubbish collection
Educates 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.

Extended piece of writing with examples
evident. use the sheet that you have just been
given.
Use pages 234 -5
Other countries refuse to trade with it, because of its
politics
It has to repay millions of dollars a year on loans
ECONOMIC
A small group of people owns most of its wealth
POLITICAL
Millions of people are suffering from AIDS
There are few schools so people can’t learn the skills the
country needs
It suffers serious flooding almost every year
Bacteria and viruses that cause diseases love its warm
damp climate
In the past, several million of its healthy adults were sold as
slaves
The people who colonised it built no factories
It is really mountainous and hard to reach
A tribal war has been going on there for years
ENVIRONMENTAL
It has plenty of copper to export but the price of copper has
fallen sharply over the years
