The world developing unevenly
What is developement?
can be used to describe the progress of a country as it becomes more economically and technologically advanced. Can be applied to improvements in people quality of life-educational opportunities, increased income...
Social Development: Improvements in peoples quality of life
Economic development: Improvements in wealth
Environmental developments: improvements in the quality of the natural world
Sustainable development:meeting the needs of the present while protecting the needs of those in the future
How are countries classified?
The United Nations now uses a composite indicator called HDI (Human Development Index) which is made up of a number of important measures, such as: GNP per capita, number of years schooling, life expectancy
The measures range from 0 to 1. An HDI between 0.8 and 1 is high and between 0.6 and 0.4 is low.
Advanced Countries: well developed financial markets, diversified economic structure with rapidly growing service sector e.g UK, USA Japan, Australia
Emerging and Developing Countries: do not share all the characteristics required to be an AC but are not eligible for Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust
Low-income Developing Countries: countries eligible for poverty reduction and growth trust from the IMF

conceals disparities within a population
More Measuring development
You can measure the development of a country by development indicators which are the standard of living and the quality of life
It is how developed that one country is
There are economic indicators such as wealth (GDP, GNP and GNP per capita) and jobs ( In MEDCs the jobs are better and are more tertiary and quarternary, but in LEDCs the jobs are more primary eg farming)
The development gap is the gap between the richest and more developed countries and the poorer and less developed countries
There a social indicators such as Health (life expectancy, death rate, child mortality rate and birth rate), Education (percentage on education and literacy rate) and equality (equal opportunities for women, fair distribution of wealth and freedom of speech)
United nations now uses a composite meter (GNP per capita, number of years schooling and life expectancy
The brandt line is an imaginary division line which splits MEDCs and LEDCs
