Lesson Objective – To look at how and why
we use statistic to monitor LEDC and MEDC’s
development.

Grab a computer and let’s compare an LEDC to
an MEDC development using the HDI
• Log onto the following 3 web sites below:
1. HDI web site: http://hdr.undp.org/en/
2. HDI
Calculator http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/data/cal
culator/
3. CIAfactbook:
www.ciafactbook.gov
With the first web site look and see how we use the
HDI and their categories, then use the second web
site to play with data found on countries of your
choice, so you understand the calculations.
Now that you have played with this a few times
here is some data (you will need the CIA
factbook to get LEDC data)

developed country.
With the stats found on an Iraq and the total
explain with examples what has INFLUENCED the
changes in Development?
It’s clear and apparent that the_________ HDI from
_______ to ____ has________ on the HDI. The factors
that have caused an increase in Development may
be______. The factors that may have hindered the
Development may be________. In comparison
______________ has a HDI of_______ from_________,
the reasons may be________________. The factors that
have caused an increase in Development may be______.
The factors that may have hindered the Development may
be________. Overall I fell that ___________ HDI
indicates____________

Afghanistan or the Philippines is a more developed country? Show your workings.
With the stats found and the total explain with
example what has INFLUENCED the changes in
Development?

See if you can improve on your last
answer on Iraq with the Afghanistan
Development!!!
What are your findings?
In a short paragraph describe world Development trends of your two
countries.
To describe the graphs do 3 things:
1. Describe the general trend of the information found and
support by quoting data from any findings
2. Acknowledge exceptions (sometimes called anomalies) to the
general trend and support with data from any findings
3. The third thing is to support your descriptions with data from
any findings
Rank em up!


To know how developed a country is we
use development indicators.
An example of a development indicator is..
Question 1 (poor) 4 (good)
Philippines V’s?????

Go onto the CIA factbook, world bank or
another source and with the 8 main
development indicators, and choose three
other countries compare and contrast their
development with the ranking system.
