The Changing Economic World: Measuring Development 🏙️ GCSE Geography Learning & Revision

In this episode, we’ll explore development as a country's growing ability to produce goods and services, leading to higher living standards. We’ll discuss key measures used to assess development, including Gross National Income (GNI) per capita, birth and death rates, infant mortality rate, life expectancy, and the ratio of people to doctors. We’ll also examine literacy rates, access to safe water, and the Human Development Index (HDI), a comprehensive measure that combines multiple factors. Finally, we’ll consider how these metrics help us understand the development gap between nations.Don't miss out on subscribing for more educational content tailored to help you succeed in your exams.
