geography revision
development gap
Investment; Large companies can locate part of their business in other countries. This helps a country to develop as the companies build factories, lay roads and install internet cables.
Aid is when one or more countries give money to other countries. The money has to be spent on things that will benefit the population.
Using intermediate technology; Intermediate technology is using equipment and techniques that are suitable for their country of use. Many poorer countries do not have the skills to maintain expensive equipment. Small-scale, basic solutions are usually more appropriate.
Fairtrade; Fairtrade is paying producers a reasonable price for the goods that they produce. Many farmers in LICs are paid very low wages. This means that they cannot escape poverty. Fairtrade gives farmers a better chance in life.
Debt relief; Many LICs owe money to other countries. Often the repayments and interest are so expensive that indebted countries have no money left to spend on development projects. Debt relief is when debts are either reorganised to make them more manageable, or reduced.
Microfinance loans; Microfinance loans are when money is lent to LICs to help them to develop. These are often small loans with reasonable interest rates. They are available to people and businesses who may normally struggle to get credit.
The impact of tourism
As a result of the income from tourism, gross national income - GNI per capita - in the Maldives is increasing. As much as 11% of the Maldives' population is employed in the tourism industry. Tourism generates around $600 million a year and makes up around 90% of the government's income from tax. This additional money has led to many improvements in the country. Advances in healthcare means that life expectancy has now reached 78 years.

The mantle is the mostly-solid bulk of Earth's interior. The mantle lies between Earth's dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 2,900 kilometers (1,802 miles) thick, and makes up a whopping 84% of Earth's total volume.
