Classifying Countries Measuring Development

Grouping Countries Measuring the degree to which a country actively participates in the globalized world Three major areas for consideration: 1) Economic Development – a country’s material wealth and trade, which is determined by its GDP/capita, ratios of cars to people, and per capita electrical power capacity for example;

2) Social Development – level of education, healthcare, life expectancy, and rate of infant mortality; 3) Political Maturity – measured by considering factors such as whether a country is democratic, has a low level of corruption, a functioning and established electoral system and rule of law.

GROUPING COUNTRIES

Measuring Social and Economic Development The UN Human Development Index (HDI) Identify the top 10 countries with the highest HDI and the bottom 10 with the lowest What patterns do you observe on the HDI ranking list?

Other Indicators At your table, choose 3 other indicators from the list of examples on page 42 of your textbook. Discuss the following: a)What the indicator might reveal about the social and economic development of the country and how/why; b)What the indicator does NOT tell us about the country’s level of development

Mapping a Developing World Analyze the CIDA graded-shaded world map and select three countries to compare – one from the low, medium and high HDI ranking. Compare the following: Population Life expectancy (male/female) Primary school enrollment GDP/capita

CIDA Map Activity In your group, use the map, graphs and written section of the CIDA map entitled Canadians making a difference in the world Answer the following questions on your laptop (Compare Canada to another country in Africa: 1. Roughly how many people live in extreme poverty throughout the world? 2. Identify the top three regions of the world where most people survive on less than $1/day. 3. Brainstorm a few reasons that might explain the low level of development in these regions. 4. According to CIDA, what is needed in order for social and economic development to begin in a country? 5. Analyze the global literacy graph at the bottom of the map. Make two observations about the trends on the graph. What might account for these trends?
