Today we are going to be thinking about how we can use MATHS and AVERAGES in Geography The Big Question is…. How can we MEASURE quality of life?

But how might we actually measure POVERTY? Look back at your QUALITY of LIFE spidergrams from last lesson. How many FACTORS could we actually MEASURE, to calculate how RICH or POOR a country is? Talk to your partner: 1 minute

Look at your GEOG HOG cards – you each have been given a country. Look at the measures. Decide which ones would be MOST USEFUL for working out how good a QUALITY of LIFE people have in each country. Geog Hog image For each factor decide if it is of: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW usefulness. We’ll do ONE together. Measure What is it? GDP per capita (per person) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the value of ALL GOODS and SERVICES PRODUCED by a COUNTRY in a year. It is divided by the number of people in the country to give an average. What can we LEARN from it about QUALITY of LIFE? Useful?

Measuring Development LINKS TO? Measure What is it? Surface Area How BIG the country is in square km Highest Point The height of the highest mountain Average Temperature of the Capital City This one’s easy… CO 2 Emissions per capita (per person) The amount of CO 2 (carbon dioxide) produced in the country, divided by the number of people GDP per capita (per person) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the value of ALL GOODS and SERVICES PRODUCED by a COUNTRY in a year. It is divided by the number of people in the country to give an average. Food Consumption per capita The amount of CALORIES eaten on average person. (You need 2500 to be healthy) Population The number of people in the country Birth Rate (per 1000) The number of NEW BABIES born for every thousand people in 1 year Male Literacy % The percentage of males who can read and write Female Literacy (%) The percentage of females who can read and write Life Expectancy How long an average person can expect to live Pig Population The number of pigs used in farming (usually for meat) in the country What can we LEARN from it about QUALITY of LIFE? Useful? (H/M/L)

Do any of the measures LINK to each other? How many links can you make?

How does Birth Rate link to Female Literacy? Female literacy Organise yourself in order of birth rate. Lowest on the right, highest on the left. Look at your Female Literacy rate. How far forward would you have to walk to show this number? (work as a class) What correlation can you see? 0 2 4 6 8 10+

So what do you think are the MOST USEFUL measures? What are the LEAST USEFUL measures? Useful Useless

KEY GEOGRAPHY CONCEPT: A country’s development is often measured through something called GDP This means GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT ‘Gross Domestic Product’ is basically the total VALUE of ALL GOODS and SERVICES PRODUCED by a COUNTRY in a year. In other words, the value of all the toys, food, shoes, books, etc. MANUFACTURED and all SERVICES such as restaurants, lawyers, bankers, healthcare etc.

RECAP: What are the MOST USEFUL measures of DEVELOPMENT? Pig Population Birth Rate (per 1000) CO 2 Emissions per capita (per person) Food Consumption per capita Useful Male Literacy % Useless

Today we are going to think about how we can use data to LEARN about the QUALITY of life in different countries. Our BIG QUESTION is… Where is the BEST PLACE to be born in the world?

Your Task: On your table are 6 -8 Geog Hog cards. You are going to place them in the order you think they would be BEST to be born in. Talk on your table and be ready to share your ideas. What FACTORS did you use to make your decisions? What are the PROBLEMS in doing this? Can you think of a BETTER WAY to do this? We need to come up with a way of creating a HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX – a standard way of COMPARING COUNTRIES…

Measure Life Expectancy Measuring Development GDP per Capita $ Food Consumption Kcal Male Literacy % Female Literacy % RANKS Life Expectancy GDP per Capita $ Food Consumption Kcal Male Literacy % Female Literacy % TOTAL RANK POINTS TOTAL RANK Mexico USA New Zealand Australia Bangladesh Finally, add up all your ranks to 70 77 78 61 fill in the TOTAL line at 80 the bottom 8900 36300 20, 100 26900 1800 – this gives us a ‘TOTAL RANK 3150 3770 3210 3790 2160 Now do the same for all the other POINTS’. Then, factor put these in order Look at the first and find the measures… to get 97 an OVERALL or case country with the BESTRANK, (in this 94 99 100 53 ‘DEVELOPMENT highest) measure…INDEX Then -write this 90 97 99 100 32 remember is BEST into the table. LOWEST below as rank 1(1) Mexico 4 USA 3 2 1 Bangladesh 5

So, what’s out ‘Top 5’ 1 2 3 4 5

Right – that was easy! So far we have been working with some BASIC data. You are now going to have a go with a LOT MORE DATA, to build a more SOPHISTICATED HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX Look at the COUNTRY DATA SHEET. Are there any NEW WORDS or MEASURES you don’t understand? Now look through the data and fill in your new RANKING SHEET to create a HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX

r e h t e g We now have some MORE indicators. o t t i Put How do they LINK with each other? Come up to board and create as many links as you can CO 2 emissions Military spending Food Intake Literacy Oil use Life expectancy Infant Mortality Internet Use

Now decide, WHICH three factors do you think are MOST IMPORTANT in MEASURING QUALITY of LIFE. Be ready to share…
