What is Development?
Development is a process of change over time.
Closely linked with economic growth in the past.
Now viewed as a combination of economic and social growth (standard of living, diet, access to education and health care).

Sustainable Development
Sustainable growth – using resources responsibility, without exploitation ensuring they are not exhausted to allow future generations to use them.

Indicators of development

used to measure development

Indicators of Development (pg 162)
Gross National Product (GNP)
The total value of economic output divided by the population.
![Page 7: Development and Health An Introduction to Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e345503460f94b23205/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Figure 4.1: Global distribution of GNP per capita

Question
Describe the distribution of wealth around the world using GNP information. (6 marks)
Wealth is not evenly distributed throughout the world. In North America in countries like Canada and the USA there are high levels of GNP beyond $8500 per capita.
![Page 9: Development and Health An Introduction to Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e345503460f94b23205/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
GNP – using this to measure development
+easy to calculate
-Figures are averages so they do not take into account inequalities between the very rich and the very poor.
-Currency values can change on a daily basis

Past Paper 2008 (half model answer)
Gross National Product (GNP) per capita is an economic indicator. It shows the total economic output of a country divided by the countries total population.
Daily calorie intake per person is also an economic measure as this helps to show the amount of food a person is consuming. The higher this figure the more food is available in a nation which can help to show wealth. Conversely the lower the figure the poorer the nation as this could show trends that the population could be malnourished.

Physical Quality of Life Index
Combines life expectancy, literacy rates and mortality rates.
Concentrates on social rather than economic development
Scale used 0 (worst) 100 (best) for each factor
All 3 then averaged Above 77 is considered satisfactory
![Page 17: Development and Health An Introduction to Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e345503460f94b23205/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Human Development Index
Combines a range of social and economic indicators
Income per capita (purchasing power) Educational attainment (adult literacy and number
of years at school) Life expectancy at birth Best score is 1, poorest is 0 All 3 figures added then averaged Interesting statistic as can show male vs. female
data

Factors Influencing Health
LO – To be able to explain the physical and human
factors that influence health
![Page 33: Development and Health An Introduction to Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e345503460f94b23205/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Physical Factors
Climate• Hot wet conditions encourage the spread of
infectious diseases
• They provide ideal breading conditions for insects that act as vectors
• Drought and arid conditions can effect water supplies
• Restricted or contaminated water can cause ill health
![Page 34: Development and Health An Introduction to Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e345503460f94b23205/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Physical Factors
Water• 50% of household in developing nations lack
access to clean water
• This number is more in rural areas compared to urban
• Often women will travel on foot to collect water from a water source (that may be contaminated)
• This is time consuming and can make people weak
![Page 35: Development and Health An Introduction to Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e345503460f94b23205/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Physical Factors
Sanitation• Poor provision of water supplies leads to a
lack of basic sanitation
• In developing nations, few people, even those in urban areas have access to sewage systems
• This can result in widespread disease
• Children are most at risk – 4 million die of diarrhoea each year
![Page 36: Development and Health An Introduction to Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e345503460f94b23205/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Physical Factors
Mountainous areas• Very remote
• Lack of communications
• Lack of access to basic health care and medical services
• Hence peoples health levels are generally poor.
![Page 37: Development and Health An Introduction to Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e345503460f94b23205/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Human Factors
Poverty• Slum living and overcrowding
• Lack of running water and sanitation
• Disease spreads rapidly in overcrowded conditions
• Poverty leads to poor education
• People can be ignorant of treatments for preventive diseases
![Page 38: Development and Health An Introduction to Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e345503460f94b23205/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Human Factors
Diet• Poor nutrition as people cannot afford a
healthy diet
• Even with subsistence farming over working the land leads to soil erosion producing yields that cannot support the population
• Undernourished people are more susceptible to disease.

What is Malaria?
Malaria effects 350-500 million people world wide
It has killed 50 million people in the last 15 years
3 million deaths a year 85% of deaths are children 1 child dies every 20 seconds
![Page 41: Development and Health An Introduction to Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e345503460f94b23205/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What does it do?
Malaria weakens the immune system Lowers white blood cell count
