Singapore and Malawi differences in development
-
Singapore has made a rapid transition from a low-income country to a high-income country. The city-state has the fastest GDP growth in the world, averaging 7.7% since independence. Her first 25 years were above her 9.2%.
Malawi's development is characterized by rapid population growth, limited arable land, natural disasters, food insecurity, HIV/AIDS and high rates of malaria. Almost 50% of the population is under the age of 15 and many of these young people live in poverty.
A smaller population in Singapore means fewer people living on the streets, and a smaller population means more job opportunities.
Singapore's economy has improved. Singapore has trading companies that do business with countries around the world exchanging resources for money. Malawi has an agricultural economy and trade with countries outside of Africa is difficult.
The development gap
The development gap is the difference in living standards between the richest and poorest countries in the world.
Inequality can lead to political instability. When the rich are much richer than the poor, civil and civil wars are more likely. Billions of people live in poverty without access to clean water, education, inadequate food supplies and unsafe shelter.
Improving HDI
more and better access to the internet can quickly raise levels of education.
taking a stance against corruption.
more government funding of the health care system could “cover part of life expectancy.” and the education system "covers the education part."
poverty, conflict and development
Most of Africa is over 80%, and countries near that percentage could erupt into conflicts over resources or because this area is more vulnerable to having less resources. If conflicts continue to occur in a particular location, governments may become aware of it and decide not to invest funds there. In other words, development may not be possible without that funding.
