Transcript of Lesson 2 using data
Levels of Development within countries
MEDCs and LEDCs
Recap
• What does MEDC and LEDC stand for?
• What types of data can we use to prove whether countries are MEDC or LEDC?
Key Terms Reminder
Standard of Living:
Quality of Life:
Human Development Index (HDI):
A measure of how happy and content people are with their lives, taking into account not only income but also social factors such as access to education and type of housing
How well-off a person or country is, focusing purely on economic factors – income and jobs
A statistic used to rank countries by level of "human development“, taking into account a country’s GDP (wealth), Education and Life Expectancy
Rich countries Little Trade
High birth and death rates
A lot of tradeHigh infant mortality
The North
Poor countries
Japan, USA and UK
High literacy rate
Rapid population growthThe South
Low literacy rate
Slow population growthPoor education
and health care
Europe, North America and Australasia
High GDP per capita
Good education and health care
Brazil, Kenya and Egypt
Low GDP per capita
Africa, South America and SE
Asia
Low infant mortality
Low birth and death rates
Recap….which of these refer to MEDCs and which to LEDCs?
Development
In your books write down which country you think is an LEDC and which an MEDC.
Give 2 reasons for your choice. (3marks)
Country A
GDP = US$36,039
Doctors per 10,000 people = 17
Life Expectancy = 78 years
Land Area = 245thousandkm2
Total Population = 60.1million
Death Rate = 10 per 1000 people
Country B
GDP = US$290
Doctors per 10,000 people = <1
Life Expectancy = 42 years
Land Area = 802thousandkm2
Total Population = 19.4 million
Death Rate = 20 per 1000 people
Maps that show development data….
This is from the International Monetary Fund assessment of how developed the economy is.
Blue = developed, Orange = developing, Red = undeveloped
Is there a pattern to the distribution of MEDCs and LEDCs across the World?
MEDC
LEDC
On the map:
1. Locate the following MEDCs, label and colour GREEN: USA, UK, France, Australia, Canada, Norway, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Japan
2. Locate the following LEDCs, label and colour RED: Mexico, Brazil, Peru, India, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Kenya, Tanzania,
Indonesia
Answer in full sentences in your books:
1. What patterns for the distribution of LEDCs and MEDCs can you identify?
2. What do you think the line on your map (Brandt Line) divides?
Statement MEDC or LEDC? Why?
Gravediggers and undertakers are losing their jobs.
Parents can plan and control how many children they will have
Families all share one bedroom
More couples are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary.
A mother cries at the grave of her sixth child who died of typhoid.
Not many grandparents are alive.
The birth rate is high but so is infant mortality.
98% of people have a mobile phone.
Most workers are involved in farming or mining.
Most children are vaccinated at birth.
EXTENSION
Choose two development indicators (Hint: look at your development measures sheet from last lesson). Create a table similar to that you completed for GDP/HDI for the same 20 countries. Use the Atlas to record the 2 development indicators you have selected for each of these 20 countries. Plot this information on a scatter graph. Answer the following questions in full sentences:
1. Can you identify any relationships between your chosen development factors?
2. Analyse the patterns you identify (think about how the development factors you have chosen might link to each other, are any other factors likely to be influential?)
