What you'll learn

Each question helps you build key knowledge and skills.

  • 1Development means how rich, healthy and comfortable people are in a country, and it is not the same everywhere in the world.
  • 2Geographers measure development using numbers called indicators, such as GNI per head, which shows the average income of each person in a country.
  • 3The Human Development Index, or HDI, combines income, education and life expectancy into one score between 0 and 1 to compare countries fairly.
  • 4The gap between rich and poor countries is called the development gap, and it exists because of history, trade, climate and government decisions.
  • 5Richer countries can help poorer ones through aid, which is money, food or skills given to support development, or through trade and investment.
