Objective: To be able to define the key components of the Human Development Index and to identify patterns and give detailed explanations for its global spatial pattern. 

Before you start - Remember back to IGCSE? This was one of the tasks that was covered in the Economic Development section of the course. It is worth digging out your notes based on this to get you started.

Task 1a - Listen to the embedded talk below and make notes on what human development means.  Make notes on the limits of measuring human development as well as integrating the graphic below into your work. 

Task 1b - Using the IB revision guide or a trusted source, define carefully the Human Development Index. Don't forget to include the key components and how it is measured as well as when and why it was set up

The disaggregated HDI One way the use of the human development index has been improved is through disaggregation. A country's overall index can conceal the fact that different groups within the country have very different levels of human development. Disaggregated HDIs are arrived at by using the data for the HDI components pertaining to each of the separate groups; treating each group as if it was a separate country. Such groups may be defined relative to income, geographical or administrative regions, urban/rural residence, gender and ethnicity.

Task 2 - What are the limitations of HDI? Click here to be taken to the UNDP site. Read over the information here and summarise the importance of 'the dis-aggregated HDI'. **This page is also available in Spanish and French**

Task 3 - Mapping HDI. Click here to be taken to the UNDP site that shows the spatial distribution of levels of HDI. 

a. Write a piece of commentary that describes the variation and spread of HDI today, including reference to the main IB focus countries . Record the HDI values of each country in your book or online document and make them stand out. You will be expected to remember these values for the final examination. Include a copy of the embedded map for reference purposes. 

b. Write about the highest and lowest placed countries on the most recent report (you may want to watch the satirical video on Norway underneath - number 1 in current HDI league ranking). 

Task 4 - Marginalization research. Click here to be taken to geographyalltheway's explanation on marginalization in Mexico. Take a copy of this article and highlight the key aspects of the measurement of marginalization.
