Stages of development Watch sv: 200 countries, 200 years http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkSRLYSojo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Average_GDP_PPP_per_capita_2010.svg World map showing countries above and below the world average GDP PPP (per capita). ██ above world average ██ below world average LESS DEVELOPED – LD/ Developing HUNGER POLLUTION/SICKNESS FEW GOOD JOBS CRIME/CORRUPTION LESS DEVELOPED – LD/ Developing High Infant Mortality and Fertility rates = rapid population growth Low GDP, literacy, life expectancy and HDI Most do primary jobs, child labor is common Ex: Guatemala, Bolivia LESS DEVELOPED - LD Nations with people living in slums by % Do you think the darker colors mean more or fewer people living in slums? LESS DEVELOPED - LD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Street_Child,_Srimangal_Railwa y_Station.jpg Agriculture A. In LD/developing countries, 50-80% farmers. B. In the U.S., only 2% are farmers. C. WHY? D. SUBSISTENCE FARMERS: just enough to survive, not for profit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Arable_land_percent_world.png ARABLE = Rapid Population Growth ¾ of the world’s pop. Live in LD or Newly Industrialized countries WHY? Global births and deaths simulation: http://www.breathingearth.net/ OVERPOPULATION = Too many people for the available resources MORE DEVELOPED – MD WEALTH POLLUTION MIDDLE CLASS STABILITY MORE DEVELOPED – MD/ DEVELOPED LOW Infant Mortality and Fertility rates = slow or negative population growth HIGH GDP, literacy, life expectancy and HDI Most do tertiary and quarternary jobs Ex: US, Japan, Australia, Germany 12 2011 7 Billion Population Density, 2006 Is density related to wealth???? The World’s Youth Population Will Become More Concentrated in Africa and Asia. Population Ages 15-24 by World Region: 1950 and 2050 1950 Source: Carl Haub and Mary Mederios Kent, 2009 World Population Data Sheet. 2050 World Population Cartogram, 2008 "Out of every 100 persons added to the population in the coming decade, 97 will live in developing countries." Hania Zlotnik, 2005 More children are born each year in Africa than are born in the Americas, all of Europe and Japan put together. Worldwide, more than a third of a million new people will be born on your birthday this year. Illiterate Women The biggest gaps between male and female literacy are in Southern Asia, Northern Africa and Southeastern Africa. In Pakistan, when the number of illiterate boys is subtracted from illiterate girls, the result is 2.6 million ‘extra’ girls who cannot read or write; that is 24% of women aged 15-24 there. Technology to make life easier; machines, factories, roads, schools, harbors, communications = INFRASTRUCTURE How is infrastructure related to development? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure Industrialization = growth of manufacturing (secondary) Why would this lead to development? Newly Industrialized Countries BRIC – Brazil, Russia, India, China LESS DEVELOPED MORE DEVELOPED http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e6/Clark%27s_Sector_Model.png NEWLY INDUSTRIALIZED – NIC/ Transitional or emerging MIX of LD and MD in same country Middle Class growing, but Poor still largest Ex: Mexico, Brazil, India, China To succeed, countries need land/resources (or technology), education, money, infrastructure, and a STABLE GOVERNMENT Many of the recent revolutions in the world started over economic problems and spread to action against governments.
