prosperity and developmentWhat is it measured by?
GNPHDI – Human development Index 0-1,

The food price crisis shows how susceptible less-developed countries are to price rises.1. What happened to food prices in 2008?2. Why was this?3. Using the Philippines as an example, explain how a
development gap was shown by the way in which the food crisis affected its people.

The development gap
• The geography of the development gap is more complex than a simple ‘North-South divide’
• Latin America has HDI levels similar to eastern Europe; China’s HDI and some others in SE Asia are relatively high
• South Asia has a concentration of levels below 0.6• Level in the Middle East are relatively high, although not in Yemen, Syria and Iraq• The picture for Africa is very complex, with the extreme north and south having
decent HDI levels, but some regions with shockingly low numbers

Burgernomics• THE ECONOMIST's Big Mac
index is based on the theory of purchasing-power parity: in the long run, exchange rates should adjust to equal the price of a basket of goods and services in different countries. This particular basket holds a McDonald's Big Mac, whose price around the world we compared with its American average of $4.20.

Measuring development
• Measuring development levels is a challenge.
• Traditionally development has measured using economic data such as GDP or GNI per capita.
• These measures fail to recognise: 1. Income distribution 2. The local value of money3. The non-money economy e.g.
barter and exchange• It is also important to recognise
that development has social and quality of life aspects
• Measures such as life expectancy, education level, access to sanitation are important
*data for Dec 2009
This basket of goods costs 112 Indian Rupees in India, the equivalent of £1.50*. To buy the same basket of
goods in the UK would cost around £6. The difference in how much goods and services really
cost, is why PPP (purchasing power parity) GDP income is used rather than ‘raw’ GDP.
Using raw GDP per capita average income in India is about $1000, but PPP GDP per capita income is
$2800

• As the development cable model (right) shows, development is a multi-faceted process
• At its core is economic development, but to achieve real progress social, political, environmental and personal development is also needed.
• Recognising the complex nature of development is why development is often measured using an index, which combines a range of data
• Indices are considered more accurate than single data points such as GDP per capita.

Enrolment rate + GDP per capita PPP

The development gap ...... is the difference in levels of social well-being and economic development between the poorest and the richest people on the planet
... is the divide between rich and poor or the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots’
... can exist on different scales
... involves social and economic differences

Is the development gap widening or becoming narrower – what do you
think?Yes – the development gap is narrowing, the world is becoming a better place
No – the development gap is widening and the world is not becoming a better place
Both – the development gap is widening and narrowing at the same time; it is different in different places

Narrowing
There has been global development, particularly in Asia
Many poorer countries, like China and India, are industrialising
Widening Development in much of Africa has
lagged behind, although the percentage of people in poverty has decreased actual numbers have increased as population has grown
Worldwide, one billion people live on less than US$1 dollar a day
There is an urban–rural divide in many countries, like Mexico
Economic growth is increasing the divide between extreme wealth and poverty in some countries, like Brazil
The gap between rich and poor people living in both richer and poorer countries is growing
The development gap – the evidence
The development gap has narrowed for some people but not for others
