13. Life Expectancy is an Indicator of How Developed a Country is

14. If incomes were distributed equally to all citizens, GNP above would represent the amount of goods and services each person could buy

16. Classification of Countries According to the Human Development Index Green = 1st world, Yellows/tans = 2nd world, Reds = 3rd world

19. Highly Developed Countries
A country whose per capita income is very high by world standards. Many people have a good amount of money.
Per capita income defined: the total national income divided by the total number of people in the nation
Most people enjoy a high standard of living - live well, are healthy and fed.
Life expectancy is longer

20. Highly Developed Countries Contd.
The economy is strong and is highly technology diversified
It has a high per capita gross domestic product (GDP).
GDP defined: The total market value of all the goods and services produced within the borders of a nation during in a year.

21. Highly Developed Countries Contd.
The government is stable.
Health care is available to all citizens (although the same level of care may not be available to all citizens)
Examples: Canada, The U.S.

22. Moderately Developed Countries (middle)
A developed country has a relatively low standard of living compared to highly developed counties.
People live less well, many struggle financially and don’t have much food, or well built homes.
The government is stable and health care is available to most citizens.
Depending on your social class and where you live (how easy it is to get to the care)
Example: Mexico

24. Developing/Underdeveloped Countries
A developing country has an extremely low standard of living.
Most people are very poor and have little or no food, and very poor shelter.
The government may be corrupt or non existent.
Health care is not as available and many people are ill. Life expectancy is very low
Examples: Zambia in Africa (many other African countries), as well as many others all over the world

26. Highly Developed Countries Contd.
Characterized as having/being:
Low birth and death rates
Highly industrialized
High average income
Stable government
Urban (city) populations
Technology
computers, advanced communications etc.
Market economy
Supply and demand
Good class mobility
People can make a better life for themselves

27. Second World Countries
Developed countries
More developed than 3rd world/developing countries but not as far along as 1st world
Somewhat advanced, socialist countries with a planned economy and state control. The term has almost disappeared, and many socialist countries are today attempting to develop free market economies and a degree of democratic government.

28. Second World Countries Contd.
Characterized as having/being:
Birth and death rates are dropping
Average income is increasing
Government becoming more stable
Population is becoming urban
Poor communication, outdated technology
Command Economy
Government ran, poor distribution of resources
Little class mobility
Small upper and middle class, large lower class

29. Third World/ Developing Countries
The relatively "undeveloped" and predominantly poorer countries of Asia, Africa Latin America, and some in the Middle East
The poorest nations of the world.
Most are in debt to Western banks and governments or international lending organizations.
Many depend on international aid to meet the basic needs of their population.

30. The needs of 800 million people in the world are not being met.
Why ?

31. Reason 1
The country these people live in does not have many natural resources.

32. Reason 2
The people in power (government) in the nations do not distribute the resources equally.
Those in power have control of the resources
Inequity between rich and poor
very few rich people and many poor people.

33. Reason 3
Countries rich with resources don’t always share their resources with those countries who need them.

34. Reason 4
There are not enough resources for all the people who live in the country.
Countries usually don’t have all mecessary resources within their borders
There may be overpopulation.
