Development Dilemmas (The global development gap (The gap between the most…

- - - - Development is defined in different ways by different people
  - - - An increase in the number of people working in the secondary and tertiary employment sectors - leading to rising incomes
      - A lot of people assume that economic development must result in life improvement, however this is not always the case.
        
        Living in polluted, congested cities might worsen health and increase stress
        
        Incomes could rise, but so could the cost of living -food, water, housing- especially in cities
    - - Rising life expectancy, better healthcare and access to education;' improved equality - leading to improved quality of life
    - - Improving political freedom and the right to vote; a free press and freedom of speech - leading to greater control over who governs you.
- - - - GDP per capita shows that the average Ugandan lives on $550 per year, yet the average UK citizen has 70 times the annual income

    - - Life expectancy at birth(health)
      - Number of years in school(education)
      - Income per person(wealth)
- - - - Aid has been given to developing countries, especially as part of the UN Millennium Development Goals Since 2000, to help them improve health, education and water supplies
      - Many deadly diseases like polio, measles and yellow fever have been controlled in the developing world, causing life expectancy to rise
      - Countries in Asia have industrialised and this has increased incomes, so people have better diets and can afford healthcare
  - - - Landlocked - no coast and relies on other countries for export routes
      - AIDS/HIV - 6.5% adults in Uganda have HIV. This is very risky and could rise fast
      - Youth - 55% Ugandans are under 18. They are a huge potential workforce, but also a social problem
      - Corruption - A lot of foreign aid still goes missing in Uganda, and bribes are often required
      - Conflict - Uganda is very close to nearby conflict, which could cause many issues
      - Commandment prices - The economy is too dependent of crop exports, if prices fall sharply, so does GDP
