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???

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 income- includes money earned overseas) $ Trade .

Using the map describe the distribution of wealth / income that it shows

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.

Label a map 1 for developed 1 for developing 1 for less developed

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
