3 | P a g e
Using the CIA factbook at http://tiny.cc/ciafacts find the most recent GDP of the following countries:

Iran –
Peru –
Bangladesh –

Explain how each of the following factors can be used as a measure of a country’s economic health.

5 | P a g e
Key Issue #2 – Where are MDCs and LDCs distributed? What is the north-south split? Why do you think this divide developed?
Using the map below, outline the 9 major regions (according to your book) and the location of the north-south divide
line.

Fill in the following chart about the worlds More Developed Regions. (notice that it continues on the following page!)

countries in
the region
Features unique
to the region
North-America
Western Europe
Eastern Europe
FYI, Rubenstein almost
completely attributes
the United States’ lower
than average (in an
MDC) life expectancy to
inadequate health care.
Other factors he forgot
to mention was that
Americans drive more
than other countries
(thus leading more car
accidents and deaths),
lifestyle choices, and a
higher than average
murder rate. None of
those have anything to
do with the quality of
medical care but
influence the life
expectancy.
