Human Development Index

What determines Human development index? The Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education and standards of living for countries worldwide. Countries fall into two categories of HDI –Less Developed country (LDC) –More Developed country (MDC)

Geo Terms Per Capita Income- Income per person; most often measured by dividing a nation’s GDP ( the total value of goods and services produced by a nation) by its population. Life Expectancy-The average number of years that a person can expect to live. Adult literacy rate- the percentage of persons aged 15 and over who can read and write.

What could be used to describe a country’s HDI Life expectancy at birth GDP per Capita Literacy rate Children per Woman Health care of a country Standard of Living Education and access to knowledge

This photo shows the family sitting on top of its house with all of its possessions. How do this family’s possessions compare with those of the typical American family?

What is this house made of? What does this tell you about the climate and landscape in this part of Mali?

Does this home have electricity?

As you have seen, most of this family’s possessions are related to cooking. What does this tell you about the family’s lifestyle? Who do you think does the cooking?

What do you think the woman in blue with the two small children at the lower left is doing?

What do you think this part of the house is used for? How can you tell?

What might the family use this net for?

What are these people doing? Why you think they’re on the roof? What does this suggest about the climate and temperature in this area at this time of year?

What might this white tent be used for?

This photograph shows the family in 2001, along with the new possessions they’d acquired since the original photograph was taken.
