MEDCs and LEDCs

Page 2: Lesson 2   using data

Recap

• What does MEDC and LEDC stand for?

• What types of data can we use to prove whether countries are MEDC or LEDC?

Page 3: Lesson 2   using data

Key Terms Reminder

Standard of Living:

Quality of Life:

Human Development Index (HDI):

A measure of how happy and content people are with their lives, taking into account not only income but also social factors such as access to education and type of housing

How well-off a person or country is, focusing purely on economic factors – income and jobs

A statistic used to rank countries by level of "human development“, taking into account a country’s GDP (wealth), Education and Life Expectancy

Rich countries Little Trade

High birth and death rates

A lot of tradeHigh infant mortality

The North

Poor countries

Japan, USA and UK

High literacy rate

Rapid population growthThe South

Low literacy rate

Slow population growthPoor education

and health care

Europe, North America and Australasia

High GDP per capita

Good education and health care

Brazil, Kenya and Egypt

Low GDP per capita

Africa, South America and SE

Asia

Low infant mortality

Low birth and death rates

Recap….which of these refer to MEDCs and which to LEDCs?

Development

In your books write down which country you think is an LEDC and which an MEDC.

Give 2 reasons for your choice. (3marks)

Country A

GDP = US$36,039

Doctors per 10,000 people = 17

Life Expectancy = 78 years

Land Area = 245thousandkm2

Total Population = 60.1million

Death Rate = 10 per 1000 people

Country B

GDP = US$290

Doctors per 10,000 people = <1

Life Expectancy = 42 years

Land Area = 802thousandkm2

Total Population = 19.4 million

Death Rate = 20 per 1000 people

Maps that show development data….

This is from the International Monetary Fund assessment of how developed the economy is.

Blue = developed, Orange = developing, Red = undeveloped

Page 9: Lesson 2   using data

Is there a pattern to the distribution of MEDCs and LEDCs across the World?

MEDC

LEDC

On the map:

1. Locate the following MEDCs, label and colour GREEN: USA, UK, France, Australia, Canada, Norway, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Japan

2. Locate the following LEDCs, label and colour RED: Mexico, Brazil, Peru, India, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Kenya, Tanzania,

Indonesia

Answer in full sentences in your books:

1. What patterns for the distribution of LEDCs and MEDCs can you identify?

2. What do you think the line on your map (Brandt Line) divides?

Statement MEDC or LEDC? Why?

Gravediggers and undertakers are losing their jobs.

Parents can plan and control how many children they will have

Families all share one bedroom

More couples are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary.

A mother cries at the grave of her sixth child who died of typhoid.

EXTENSION

Choose two development indicators (Hint: look at your development measures sheet from last lesson). Create a table similar to that you completed for GDP/HDI for the same 20 countries. Use the Atlas to record the 2 development indicators you have selected for each of these 20 countries. Plot this information on a scatter graph. Answer the following questions in full sentences:

1. Can you identify any relationships between your chosen development factors?

2. Analyse the patterns you identify (think about how the development factors you have chosen might link to each other, are any other factors likely to be influential?)
