Countries around the world exist at different stages of development, with some being wealthy High Income Countries (HICs)... Show more
Ever wondered why some countries are wealthy whilst others struggle with poverty? Development is basically how much a country has improved in terms of wealth, health, and safety for its people.
We classify countries into three main types HICs (High Income Countries like the UK), LICs (Low Income Countries), and NEEs (Newly Emerging Economies like Brazil). Each type has different characteristics based on various measures of development.
There are loads of ways to measure how developed a country is. GNI per head shows average income, whilst birth and death rates reveal health conditions. Other key measures include infant mortality, life expectancy, literacy rates, and access to safe water. The Human Development Index (HDI) combines several measures to give a overall picture.
Quick Tip Using multiple measures together gives you a much better understanding than relying on just one!
The Demographic Transition Model shows how population changes as countries develop through five stages. In LICs, both birth and death rates are high, but as development occurs, death rates fall first (better healthcare), then birth rates drop later (contraception, women working).
Several factors explain why some places develop faster than others. Physical factors include poor climate and natural hazards, whilst historical factors involve colonisation and conflict. Economic factors like poor trade links and debt also play major roles in keeping countries less developed.
Nigeria perfectly shows how an NEE can transform itself through various development strategies. Located in West Africa, this massive country has become a regional powerhouse despite facing challenges like extremist groups in the north.
Nigeria's changing industrial structure has been dramatic - in 1975, nearly 69% of GDP came from primary sectors like farming, but by 2014, over 53% came from tertiary services. The economy grew at an impressive 7% annually for over a decade! Their Nollywood film industry is now the world's second largest, showing how creative industries can boost development.
International relationships have shifted too. Once a British colony until 1960, Nigeria now leads African organisations and trades globally. Their biggest oil customer switched from the USA to India, showing how trading patterns evolve with development.
Remember TNCs like Shell bring both benefits (jobs, investment) and problems (pollution, exploitation) to developing countries.
Tourism in places like Kenya demonstrates another development strategy. By cutting visa fees and improving access, Kenya doubled tourist numbers from 0.9 to 1.8 million between 1995-2011. This created 600,000 jobs and improved the country's HDI score, though some local communities faced displacement.
Various strategies can reduce the development gap foreign investment, industrial development, tourism, aid, intermediate technology, fair trade, debt relief, and microfinance loans. Each has advantages and limitations, but combining multiple approaches tends to work best.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
