What is development & how is it measured?
In the first unit on Global Populations, we looked extensively at demographic factors such as birth rate, death rate, literacy rates, HIV infection rates etc. In the introductory section to Global Development, we must be able to use a variety of indicators to assess the level of development of a country whilst being able to identify and explain inequalities between and within countries.

The second half of the worksheet above gives you examples of how inequalities exist within a country, i.e. France. However, the syllabus also states that you need to understand inequalities between countries. We have already studied this in our Population unit (Theme 1) when looking at the reasons why people move from Central and Southern America to the USA. You have the data set comparing Mexico & the USA. Please remember that you can use that case study to cover the knowledge required here.
Production Sectors
Objective: To be able to classify industries into primary, secondary and tertiary and be able to give illustrations of each.
Starter: Check out this PowerPoint!
Primary Sector: The exploitation of raw materials from the land, sea or air e.g. farming and mining.
Secondary Sector: The manufacturing of primary materials into finished products e.g. car building, food processing or construction.
Tertiary Sector: The providing of services to individuals and other businesses e.g. teaching, banking, retail and nursing.
Quaternary Sector: The generation and sharing of hi-tech knowledge e.g. medical research, Google glasses development or web page design.
Task 1 - Complete the 'Job Classification' task on the work booklet (below)

Define Globalization:
Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world.
