What you'll learn

Each question helps you build key knowledge and skills.

  • 1Development can be measured using single indicators like GNI per head, or composite indicators like HDI, which combine several measures together.
  • 2Composite indicators are often more reliable because they avoid relying on just one factor, which could give a misleading picture of a country.
  • 3The development gap has grown due to historical factors such as colonialism, as well as ongoing issues like unfair trade rules and debt.
  • 4Globalisation has increased links between countries through TNCs, improved transport and communication technology, and international trade agreements.
  • 5Emerging economies, sometimes called Newly Industrialised Countries or NICs, have rapidly growing manufacturing sectors and rising GNI per head.
