What is development? Development is any improvement in the standard of living of the people living in a country. How do we measure development? By using development indicators. Economic indicators measure the wealth and industrialisation of a country. An example of a common economic indicator is GNP/capita ($). Social indicators show how a country uses its wealth to try and improve the quality of life of its people. Social indicators can measure different things like health (doctors /100,000), diet (calories/person/day) and education (% adult literacy).

How is wealth distributed? What patterns are shown in the map? Where are the richest countries? Where are the poorest countries? GDP – Gross Domestic Product = The amount of wealth a country earns per person in US$

‘best at showing how high or low the standard of living Task 1 - Draw a diamond 9 diagram to illustrate which indicators you think are; ‘best at showing how high or low the standard of living is in a particular country’. Add diagram Task 2 - Write a paragraph that explains why your top 3 indicators are the best at showing how high or low the standard of living is in a particular country.

How can we measure development? To help understand the ways of measuring development, we are going to play a game of top trumps. Firstly aim to keep wining cards by higher answers Can you order these developing to developed? A) GDP B) Social Indicators C) Best combination Developing Developed Get them into groups of 3-5. Depending on time this can take as long as you need, normally let them play for about 20 minutes. You can revisit this at the end if lesson finishes early (students can get lost in the game and miss the ‘Geography’. Get them thinking about the location of the country and if they think it would be a MEDC or LEDC and then which option would be best to play because of this.

Questions: In your groups, list the cards in order from most developed to least developed (Be prepared to explain your answers) Stretch and challenge: Can you rank them within continents Find and write out the definitions: GNI, GDP, Human development index. Using the top trumps, what do you think the best indicator for measuring development is? Why is this? Can you think of another developmental indicator? Why does this show the level of development? Does population show a countries level of development? Explain your answer? In your opinion, what do you think the most developed country is from the top trump game? Why do you think this? Discuss question 1 (stretch out questioning as you see fit). Try and get them to think of different groupings that would work together such as the human development index.
