The document discusses the limitations of using only economic or social indicators to assess a country's level of development. It introduces the Human Development Index (HDI), which considers economic, health and education factors. While HDI takes a more comprehensive approach, it may not fully capture a country's situation due to unreliable data, large informal economies, lack of incorporation of human rights, and other important aspects of well-being. Alternative indicators like GNH try to include additional factors, but do not address more pressing livelihood needs. An accurate portrayal of development is complex with no perfect measure.

Social indicators
This document discusses several social indicators that can be used to measure how well people live in a country, including health, life expectancy, infant mortality rate, access to clean water and sanitation, education, and adult literacy rate. Generally, more developed countries have higher life expectancies and lower infant mortality as people have better access to healthcare. Access to clean water and sanitation facilities is also important for public health. Education levels are commonly measured by literacy rates, with more developed nations typically having higher rates.
Economic indicators
This document discusses various economic indicators used to measure and analyze economies. It outlines indicators for measuring overall wealth like GDP and income per capita. It also discusses employment rate, economic structure by primary/secondary/tertiary sectors, and trends in developing countries towards more tertiary sector jobs in services and how this impacts standards of living and employment opportunities locally and through outsourcing. Tables show shifts away from primary towards tertiary industries as countries develop.
Devt 1
The document discusses what development means. It defines development as enlarging people's choices and allowing them to enjoy a free, healthy life in a safe environment. Specifically, development aims to improve outcomes like access to knowledge, nutrition, health services, secure livelihoods, security from crime and violence, leisure time, freedoms, and community participation, rather than just focusing on income and growth figures. The objective of development is to create conditions where people can live long, healthy, and creative lives.

This document outlines a 5 stage model of economic development: Stage 1 represents a traditional society, Stage 2 involves preconditions for rapid growth, Stage 3 is a period of take-off into self-sustaining growth, Stage 4 is a drive towards maturity, and Stage 5 is an age of mass consumption.
Natural factors affect devt
Uneven development across nations may be influenced by natural factors. Differences in geography, climate and natural resources impact countries' economic trajectories and living standards in ways that are hard to overcome. While development challenges exist, understanding nature's role could help address imbalances more effectively.

This document discusses Thomas Malthus's theory of population growth and its relationship to resource availability. It also discusses the Demographic Transition Theory and Esther Boserup's response to Malthus. Malthus argued that population grows geometrically while resources grow arithmetically, leading to population exceeding carrying capacity. Boserup countered that population pressure stimulates technological innovation to increase yields. The document also notes debates between anti-populationists concerned with limits and pronatalists who argue resources will become more abundant through technology.
Nature & devt
Uneven development across regions is a complex issue with no single cause. Natural factors like climate and geography have historically influenced where populations settled and economic activity occurred. However, with globalization and advances in transportation/technology, the impact of natural advantages or disadvantages has lessened, though nature still provides resources that drive some local economies.
14 Development Definitions And Measuring Development
There are several ways to measure development including economic, social, and environmental indicators. Economic indicators include GDP, GNP, and PPP but have limitations in capturing how wealth is distributed or environmental/social impacts. Social indices like the HDI and HPI provide a more holistic view by combining factors like education, health, and standard of living. Multiple component indices are useful for comparisons but don't show imbalances in their underlying indicators. An accurate overall assessment requires considering various factors from different perspectives.

Rural development ppt
Rural areas are separately settled places away from large cities characterized by lower population density and engagement in primary industries like agriculture. A rural community has a sense of unity and religion plays an important role in village life. Rural lifestyles differ from urban ones in having limited services, public transport, and utilities. Rural development aims to improve the economic and social conditions of rural poor through collective efforts and generation of employment in farm, storage, and other economic activities while also developing infrastructure, health, education, and living conditions. It faces various challenges including traditional mindsets, lack of education, inadequate infrastructure, and economic and leadership problems. Rural development is important for India to develop rural areas holistically and empower communities.

The Dominant Social Paradigm is the framework of values and beliefs shared by a culture that shape how it views and functions in the world. It promotes an anthropocentric view that if an issue does not directly affect individuals, then they do not care. The values and beliefs commonly held by a society directly impact the policies made by their government, so without public support for environmental issues, policymakers are not motivated to act.

Squatter settlements, also known as slums, are informal settlements that lack basic services and legal rights. They are typically located on the outskirts of urban areas. Issues associated with squatter settlements include loss of agricultural land, environmental hazards from waste and overcrowding, spread of diseases due to lack of sanitation, and barriers to education and gender equality without proper facilities. However, slums also provide important economic functions by employing many residents and contributing to local economies through informal businesses. Redevelopment efforts aim to address issues but must consider impacts to livelihoods.

The document discusses waste generation and management. It notes that China generates the largest volume of municipal solid waste globally, estimated at 1.3 billion tonnes per year. Improper waste disposal can cause groundwater pollution and loss of biodiversity by leakage from landfills. It also explores how waste impacts society through widening social distances and inequality, as well as economic costs of waste management. Singapore relies on incineration and landfills for waste disposal but questions whether this system is sustainable.

Malthus theorized that population grows geometrically while food production increases arithmetically, leading to population exceeding the food supply. He argued this would result in famine, disease, or war that lower the population through "positive checks" until it is again supported by the food supply. While Malthus' ideas supported limiting population growth, his theory is debated as it did not account for technological advances increasing food production. Modern debates discuss whether concerns over food supply are still relevant given globalization and technological changes in agriculture.
T2W5
This document discusses hunger and poverty in Singapore. It notes that over 120,000 households rely on supplemental food rations from the government or volunteers. Income inequality is rising, with Singapore having the highest Gini coefficient among developed countries. Those most at risk of hunger live in older HDB estates, one-room flats, or low-cost rental units. Common causes of hunger include unstable or low incomes and an unwillingness to accept help due to stigma. Several formal groups and informal volunteer initiatives work to address hunger by providing meals or distributing unsold food. The document encourages continuing the legacy of one volunteer who started a food sharing movement before passing away.
Dominant Firm Model
The dominant firm model describes markets with one large firm (the dominant firm) and many small firms (the competitive fringe). The dominant firm accounts for most industry output and sets price based on the fringe's supply curve. The document analyzes a market with demand of Q=200-P, 10 fringe firms with costs of TC=5q^2+40q and MC=40+10q, and the dominant firm with costs of TC*=40Q*+1000 and MC*=40. It shows the dominant firm maximizes profits at Q*=80, P=80, equating MR* to MC*. Total market output is Q=120, clearing the market. An excise tax on the dominant firm would raise prices

Traffic congestion can negatively impact nature, society, individual well-being, and the economy. It can lead to the clearing of nature spaces to build more transport infrastructure, resulting in the loss of biodiversity and threatened species. Traffic congestion also causes air pollution exposure, which poses health risks, especially for vulnerable groups. Additionally, traffic congestion causes disruptions to daily life through commuting delays. It contributes to the loss of productive hours and long term economic productivity.
Composite indicators
This document discusses the creation and use of composite indicators for senior management reporting on operational risk. Individual key risk indicators (KRIs) are first transformed into common T-value metrics to allow for aggregation. Composite indicators are then created by combining related T-values through multiplication or unrelated ones through taking the maximum. Weights and thresholds can be adjusted to reflect management's risk appetite. The resulting composite indicators are presented on a single-page summary to highlight areas requiring senior management's attention, such as a particular business growing too rapidly.
Special Features & Realities of Rural Development
This document discusses rural development in India. It defines rural areas and communities as those engaged primarily in agriculture with lower population densities and less social differentiation compared to urban areas. Rural communities are characterized by a sense of unity, dependence on agriculture and nature, and limited access to services. Rural development aims to improve economic and social conditions through collective efforts such as increasing employment, infrastructure, health, education, and local economies. It discusses objectives of and needs for rural development such as developing human resources, solving rural problems, and empowering rural populations. The importance of rural development for India is that it promotes agricultural growth, infrastructure, housing, public services, and overall development of rural areas.
Vertesy - Auditing composite Indicators of Innovation
This document discusses composite indicators that are used to measure innovation. It notes that innovation is complex with multiple factors, so composite indicators aggregate multiple individual indicators to provide an overall picture. Examples given are the Global Innovation Index and the European Innovation Scoreboard. The document outlines advantages of composite indicators in providing big-picture trends but also pitfalls if they are poorly constructed. It emphasizes that developing composite indicators involves normative choices that can affect policy messages. In conclusions, it questions whether commonly used innovation indicators provide an incomplete picture and if they are sufficiently aligned with addressing societal challenges.

This document presents a conceptual model for service exchange based on service-dominant logic. It discusses key concepts in service-dominant logic like service systems and value co-creation. It proposes a resource-service-system model as an extension of the traditional resource-event-agent model to better capture the perspectives of service-dominant logic. Specifically, the model represents services as economic events rather than resources and shows how service systems interact and exchange resources to co-create value through services. The document concludes by outlining areas for future research like extending the model to capture the process and compositional aspects of services.

MEASUREMENT OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT: A SPECIAL FOCUS ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT ...
The document discusses the methodology of calculating the Human Development Index (HDI). It explains the old and new methods of calculating the HDI using 3 dimensions - health, education, and standard of living. Under the old method, health was measured by life expectancy, education by adult literacy and gross enrollment rates, and standard of living by GDP per capita. The new method uses life expectancy for health, mean and expected years of schooling for education, and GDP per capita for standard of living. The document provides examples of calculating HDI for India under both methods and compares HDI ranks and values of India and other countries. It also discusses HDI ranks of Indian states and limitations of HDI.

Human Development Index
The document discusses the Human Development Index (HDI), which was created by Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq in 1990. The HDI is a composite statistic that measures a country's development according to life expectancy, education, and income indicators. It is calculated using a formula that averages a nation's scores on health, education, and income. Health is measured by life expectancy, education by adult literacy and expected years of schooling, and income by gross national income per capita. Countries are ranked high to low on human development and the top and bottom ten countries are listed. The document also notes Pakistan's ranking of 147th on the HDI.
The Human Development Index
The document summarizes key aspects of the Human Development Index (HDI) and provides related data. The HDI measures development by combining indicators of life expectancy, education, and income. It discusses the components of the HDI - health (life expectancy), education (mean years of schooling and expected years), and standard of living (GNI per capita). Tables then rank countries by their HDI values and provide country-level data on the components. Other tables analyze inequality-adjusted HDI values and gender inequality.

1) Indonesia faces the threat of falling into the middle-income trap, characterized by low investment rates, slow growth of manufacturing industries, limited industrial diversification, and poor labor market conditions.
2) Indonesia's economic growth has been of low quality in recent years, with the manufacturing sector continuing to decline as a percentage of GDP.
3) Improving human capital, including education and health outcomes, as well as innovation capacity, will be important for Indonesia to strengthen its economy and avoid the middle-income trap.
Development
Economic development involves increasing a nation's wealth over time through economic growth, as measured by increases in gross domestic product. It requires using tools from various fields like finance, planning and economics. Sustainable development aims to meet current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Countries vary widely in their levels of development, with more economically developed countries in the northern hemisphere owning most of the world's wealth compared to less developed countries in the south. Development encompasses both economic factors like GNP per capita and social factors like education and health outcomes.

The document discusses whether genetically modified foods (GMFs) can solve world hunger and malnutrition. It provides examples of how GMFs could increase food supply and nutrient intake, such as through pest-resistant and longer-lasting crops. However, it also notes risks like allergic reactions and the potential for GMF crops to be used for other purposes instead of feeding the hungry. The document considers both sides of the issue without making a clear conclusion.
Close devt gap
National strategies like improving education, job creation, and population control helped Singapore narrow its development gap. These strategies were generally effective for Singapore by creating jobs, improving skills, and optimizing population. However, overreliance on any strategy can be ineffective. International cooperation through organizations like the World Bank and agreements like the UNMDGs also aimed to reduce disparities with aid, expertise sharing, and agreements, but corruption and unsustainable resource use sometimes limited aid's effectiveness. Overall, a balanced set of national development strategies combined with responsible international cooperation can help close the gap, but sustainability is important.

As a population transitions from high birth/death rates to lower rates (demographic transition), its pyramid shape changes from wide at the base to more rectangular. As birth rates decline, the base narrows, resulting in a "bulge" in working age groups. With increased lifespans, the top of the pyramid expands as more people survive to older ages. Migration impacts can thin or expand different age groups. Ultimately, as replacement-level fertility is sustained, the pyramid becomes more rectangular with similar numbers in each age group.
Pop & devt
A large population can be both advantageous and disadvantageous for a country's development, bringing economic growth through more workers and consumers but also social challenges around resources, employment, and political stability. Specific country examples should be discussed and a conclusion made about whether large populations are on balance more a boon or bane.
Uneven devt ec
Karl Gunnar Myrdal was a Swedish economist who received the Nobel Prize in economics. He developed the theory of cumulative causation to explain economic development and disparities between regions. The theory posits that spread effects from developed core regions to poorer periphery regions are typically weaker than the backwash effects, which drain resources from the periphery. This leads to divergence and perpetuation of underdevelopment over time through a circular process where poverty begets more poverty. Myrdal argued for government intervention and policies to promote balanced regional development through spread effects in order to break this cycle.

Bid-rent theory graphically shows the different amounts that various land users are willing and able to pay for locations with good access to the central business district (CBD). Commerce, especially large department stores, is willing to pay the highest rent to locate in the CBD due to the large population and customer turnover. Industry is willing to pay to locate on the outskirts of the CBD for more land and access to markets and infrastructure. Further from the CBD, land becomes less attractive to industry and more affordable for households, resulting in dense inner cities and sparse suburbs. This explains one pattern of urban land use but is an oversimplification and exceptions exist.
T3 w9a
This document discusses several urban land use models from the mid-20th century, including Mann's concentric circles and sector model from the 1950s-1970s that was based on British cities like Sheffield. It also examines Mann's model limitations of not accounting for physical landscapes or multiple urban centers, and Robson's 1976 air pollution model. The document analyzes how earlier models do not anticipate modern reurbanization or regeneration of old industrial areas.
T3 w8b
The document discusses three urban land use models:
1) Burgess's concentric zone model which views cities as consisting of nested rings extending from the CBD including zones of transition, working people, wealthy homeowners, and commuters.
2) Hoyt's sector model which proposes cities grow in wedge-shaped sectors extending from industry centers.
3) Harris and Ullman's multiple nuclei model which sees cities developing from several activity nodes rather than just the CBD, with nodes clustering similar uses and repelling others.
T3 w3
Human settlements can range in size from small hamlets of under 100 people to massive megacities of millions. Settlement types are classified based on population size, with hamlets having under 100 people, villages 100-1,000, towns 1,000-20,000, cities over 100,000, and megacities or conurbations having populations of several million people made up of multiple interconnected cities. The location and layout of settlements is influenced by factors like access to resources, defense needs, and transportation routes. Settlement functions have also expanded over time from just farming to include residences, administration, industry, commerce, services, and tourism.
T3 w1
The document discusses population density and distribution. It begins by listing the 10 most populous countries in the world along with their total populations and population densities. China has the largest population at over 1.3 billion people, while Bangladesh has the highest population density at over 1,000 people per square kilometer. The document then notes that population distribution refers to where people live within countries. Factors that affect population distribution include physical factors like climate and landforms, as well as human factors such as economic activities, technology, and government policies. These factors can lead to either dense or sparse population densities in different areas.
Coastal FW Presentation Guidelines
This presentation guide outlines how to structure a 10-minute PowerPoint presentation on coastal fieldwork findings. The presentation should include the group's hypothesis, findings from 6 investigations supported by data in tables and diagrams, and whether the hypothesis is accepted or rejected based on analysis. It should also reflect on the reliability of the data, how the methodology could be improved, and comparisons made between managed and unmanaged coastlines regarding current speed, beach profiles, sediment size and sorting, wave characteristics, and perceptions from surveys.
T2W2 Challenges to Food Production & Supply
This document summarizes various challenges to food production and supply, as well as efforts that have been made to increase food supply. Some key challenges include intensifying food production methods and increasing farming area. Major efforts to increase supply discussed include the Green Revolution through technologies like irrigation, fertilizers, pesticides, and mechanization. High-tech farming methods aim to replace land as the medium for production through techniques like stacking. Modern animal rearing involves practices like confinement and hormone/antibiotic use. Other discussed efforts involve GMOs, deforestation, land reclamation projects, and greenhouse farming methods. The document concludes by asking how factors like industrial crop use, climate change, environmental degradation, and urbanization may impact future food production
Malthus vs boserup
The document discusses theories related to population growth and its relationship to resources. It covers:
1. Malthus' theory that population grows geometrically while resources grow arithmetically, leading to population exceeding carrying capacity and being kept in check by preventative and positive factors.
2. The demographic transition theory showing changing birth and death rates over four stages as countries develop.
3. Boserup's theory critiquing Malthus by arguing that population pressure stimulates technological innovation to increase yields.
4. Continuing debates around whether Malthus was right about limits to growth or if technological progress can continually outpace population growth.
Malthus' theory of population growth
Thomas Malthus theorized that population grows exponentially while food production increases arithmetically, meaning population will eventually outpace food supply. He argued population is kept in check by positive factors like famine, disease that raise death rates, and negative factors like delayed marriage that lower birth rates. While Malthus' ideas highlighted overpopulation concerns, they ignored unequal resource distribution. Modern relevance of Malthus' theory continues to be debated.

- 2. Human Development Index (HDI) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwgZQ1DqG3w
- 3. Human Development Index (HDI) Used to assess the level of development in a country HDI considers three main aspects: Economic Well-Being -Income per capita -Employment structure -Employment opportunities* Health -Life expectancy -Infant mortality rate -Access to water supply* -Access to sanitation facilities* Education -Literacy rate
- 4.

- 5. Limitations of HDIQuestion! How accurate is the HDI in assessing the level of development in a country? Think! Is the data available? Is the data reliable? Does the economy rely more on informal trading instead? Does HDI take into account human rights and freedom? What are some solutions to overcome the limitations of HDI?
- 6. So the HDI takes into account economic AND social indicators … but what about other aspects of living well?
- 7. GNH Report
- 9. So these composite indicators take into account economic AND social indicators … and even other aspects of living well … But then again, are these other aspects important in view of more pressing issues eg having food, a roof over my head …
- 10. How SHOULD a country’s development be reliably and accurately depicted?
