Examples of LEDCs
Brainstorm as many countries
as you can think ofthat might be LEDCs

Jobs“Most jobs in
our country are low paid and
unskilled. Most people work within the primary
industry like farming and
mining”
Trade – Buying & Selling
“We have to sell raw materials like coal and
food at really low prices to MEDCs.
However, we have to buy our manufactured
good (machines, clothes, electrical
goods) from MEDCs at high prices”.
Population – Life & Death“We have a very high
birth rate because of a lack of sex education
and contraception. We have a very high death rate because of a lack
of medicine and doctors. Lots of
children die and you are not expected to
live past 50 years old. Life is difficult”Death Rate = Number
of people that die per1000 people per year
Birth Rate = Number of people that are bornPer 1000 people per year
Health
“A developing country like ours has a lot less
money to spend on training up doctors
and nurses and providing medicines,
hospitals and dentists to it’s people”.
Education“There are lots of children in our country (high birth
rate) but there is no money to build good
schools or to buy books and computers for the
students. This means few people can read and write. As a result we have a low
literacy rate”
TaskIn groups of 4 prepare a case study of one of the following factors in an LEDC of your choice.
Prepare to present this back to the class:
1) Education2) Health3) Population4) Trade5) Jobs

Education in Mexico is greatly segregated by social class. Wealthy families send their children to private schools, while poorer children attend government schools. These circumstances create a large social gap between the citizens.

How do we judge our wealth?
GNP – Gross National Product (US$)
•This is the total amount of money made by the country from selling it’s raw materials, manufactured goods and services.•This figure is then divided by the total number of people that live there to give the average amount of money available to each person living there.
Examples of GNP
USA = $39,820UK = $33,630Rwanda = $210Ethiopia = $110
Which is MEDC?
Which is LEDC?
Note:£1 is worth nearly $2
TaskFind out the GNP of:1) Qatar2) India3) Canada
A personal view on QUALITY OF LIFE“People walking along a street in a western city rarely seem to smile. They look harassed and under pressure. Perhaps it is the strain of work or trying to find a job, of paying the mortgage or finding a home. In contrast, people in the poorer countries which I have visited such as Kenya, Thailand and Malaysia seem to be very much more cheerful, laid back and relaxed, and always prepared to help the visitor. Socially and culturally they are in no way ‘less developed’”Which society appears to have the preferable quality of life?Which society appears to be more developed? Why
What is development?In a broader sense the notion of human development incorporates all aspects of individuals’ well-being, fromtheir health status to their economic and political freedom.
Definitions of development can be complex and often have a cultural basis. Development involves education,health, democracy, human rights, income, well-being and sustainability.
Poverty is a key factor in development and measurements of poverty may vary from country to country and region to region.
One definition that is often quoted is that it represents an ‘ideal state to be achieved by human effort’.This implies that development should be concerned with enhancing human rights and welfare and not just with improving people’s income orwealth. Making progress towards development has no single recipe because of the social, cultural and economic diversity of the global population
