This document discusses strategies for eliminating poverty through economic development. It begins by asking questions about a video depicting life in a poor village, such as what might cause the low standard of living and how poverty could be perpetuated across generations. Potential causes of poverty mentioned include low income, education, land ownership, discrimination, geography, age, and limited public services. The document then discusses measures of development like literacy rates and education enrollment. It also introduces the concept of a poverty cycle and proposes that strategies like those employed in Millennium Villages could help transform poor communities through economic development. Homework involves reading about Jeffrey Sachs' strategies in his book "The End of Poverty."

Indentifying The Development Gap
This document discusses different ways to measure the development gap between wealthy and poor countries. It begins by introducing the "Brandt line" from 1981, which showed that the global North possessed 80% of the world's wealth while the South had only 20%. However, this simple division is outdated as some countries have developed faster than others. The document then examines common economic indicators like GDP and GNI, as well as the Human Development Index (HDI), which provides a more holistic picture of health, education, and living standards. While measures provide useful comparisons, development has been uneven globally, and some regions like Sub-Saharan Africa still lag far behind in growth.
Demographic Dividend
The document discusses India's demographic dividend, which refers to accelerated economic growth that occurs when a large proportion of the population is of working age. As fertility rates fall and longevity increases in India, the dependency ratio has decreased to around 0.6, indicating more working-age people relative to non-working dependents. However, to reap the benefits of the demographic dividend, India must implement policies like improving access to education, healthcare, financial inclusion, and generating adequate employment to ensure its growing workforce contributes productively to the economy. The Planning Commission of India recognizes the need to exploit the dividend to expand economic opportunities and meet the projected shortage of 56 million skilled workers globally by 2020.
Development Gap - Causes
The document discusses several potential causes of the development gap between wealthy and poor nations:
1. Debt from large capital loans that poor countries have struggled to repay, which has forced them to reduce spending on health, education and development through structural adjustment policies.
2. Resource exploitation and lack of investment in local industries by colonial powers and today by transnational corporations, which has prevented poor nations from developing strong domestic economies.
3. Tariffs and subsidies in wealthy countries that make it difficult for goods from poor nations to compete in global markets and develop export industries, maintaining the global development gap.
Development gap lesson 1
The document discusses measuring levels of development between countries and within countries. It lists common indicators used to measure development, such as GDP per capita, GNP, HDI, infant mortality rates, population per doctor, food consumption, and adult literacy. The document also lists the top ten most livable and least livable countries according to the UN's HDI, with the least livable being in Africa and the most livable in Northern Europe and other developed nations.
Development Gap Causes
The document discusses several potential causes of the development gap between wealthy and poor nations:
1. Debt from large capital loans that poor countries have struggled to repay, making it difficult to escape poverty. However, debt is argued to be a symptom rather than a direct cause.
2. Corrupt governments that mismanage resources, as seen in countries like Kenya and Nigeria.
3. Exploitation by transnational corporations (TNCs) and colonial powers historically that prevented investments and used trade barriers to undermine economic development in poorer nations.
4. Subsidies in wealthy countries that negatively impact local production in poor countries.
5. Theories like core-periphery and economic man help
development gap
The document discusses development gaps between rich and poor countries. It provides definitions and classifications of development gaps. There are three stages of economic development: preparatory, take-off, and self-sustained growth. There are large income gaps between nations and people, classified as North-South divide and by continent or World Bank definitions. Measures of development gaps include absolute income gap, relative income gap, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and Gini ratio. These measure differences in per capita income levels and dispersion to quantify narrowing or widening of gaps over time.
The development gap and how it can be measured
There are several ways to measure development levels and the gap between developed and developing countries:
1) GDP and GNP per capita are traditional economic measures but don't capture inequalities within countries.
2) Social indicators like health, education, and housing provide a more holistic view of development.
3) Composite indices that combine economic and social factors, such as the Human Development Index, provide a comprehensive overview of development levels.
4) Other indices measure specific issues like the digital divide, gender inequality, and livability between countries. No single measure can fully capture a country's development status.
Unit 3 contested_planet_bridging_the_development_gap
The document discusses bridging the development gap between rich and poor countries. It explores the causes of the gap, including unequal distribution of wealth globally and different measures of development. The consequences of the gap include poverty, poor health outcomes, urban slums, and ethnic inequalities. Strategies to bridge the gap involve both top-down approaches like large infrastructure projects led by governments and companies, and bottom-up grassroots projects led by local communities and NGOs. Aid and foreign direct investment are also discussed as ways to fund development.

The Extraordinary Potential of the Demographic Dividend
This document discusses the demographic dividend, which is a one-time opportunity for rapid economic growth that stems from an increase in the working age population share. It notes that Sub-Saharan Africa's population is rapidly growing and aging, with the working age share projected to peak at 60% by 2075. However, countries are at different points in the transition. To realize the potential of the demographic dividend, governments need to invest in education, health, job growth, and good governance to strengthen social contracts and reduce inequality. Inaction could lead to increased poverty and social unrest from growing youth unemployment.
Bridging the development gap file organiser
The document discusses the development gap between developed and developing economies. It covers three main topics: the causes of the development gap which can be explained by economic theories and the roles of global organizations, the social, economic, and environmental consequences of the gap for developing countries and urban poor, and approaches to reducing the gap through theories of development as well as aid, trade, and economic growth though there is debate around these strategies.
Citzenship stage 2 powerpoint poverty
Nearly half of the world lives on less than $2.50 per day, with the poorest 40% of people accounting for only 5% of global income. Poverty has resulted in 18 million deaths per year from preventable causes like hunger and disease. Various voluntary organizations and UN programs work to assess and address poverty through initiatives like the Millennium Development Goals. Individual actions people can take include donating to relief efforts and donation drives.
Consequences Of The Development Gap
The document discusses the consequences of the development gap between developed and developing countries. It notes that poverty is increasingly concentrated in megacities in developing countries, where migrants live in temporary, often illegal settlements with inadequate housing and services. This leads to social, economic, political, and environmental problems. The development gap also has ethnic and religious dimensions and disproportionately impacts women and rural populations. Rapid urbanization in developing country megacities concentrates pollution and inequality between the rich and poor.
Development Gap Ap
The document discusses ways to close the development gap between rich and poor countries. It examines why this gap exists and some potential solutions. The gap originated when less developed countries (LEDCs) exported goods to more economically developed countries (MEDCs) during colonial times, but lacked industry of their own. LEDCs still rely on exporting raw materials while MEDCs profit more from manufacturing goods. Aid programs and investment programs are proposed as ways to help LEDCs develop, but aid risks increasing dependence and being misused without reaching those in need. Bilateral and multilateral aid each have benefits and challenges to consider.
Microeconomics
This document discusses key concepts related to population in microeconomics, including definitions of population, age distribution, developing and developed countries. It also examines the effects of an aging population, such as increased costs for state pensions, healthcare and fewer working-age people. Regional population distributions are provided for Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, noting their major ethnic groups and industries.
Understanding Demographic Dividend
We keep hearing that India will become a Super Power country some day because of its demographic dividend.
What exactly is this demographic dividend? Here's a lesson ‘Demographic Dividend’ that attempts to simplify this interesting concept for you.
Japan and its declining population
We discussed in our Powerpoint how the decline of the Japanese population can have major effects on its economy and social structure
L5 ap population structure & economic development
This document discusses how population structure, decline, and increase can impact a country's economic development. It begins by stating the lesson objective is to explore the relationship between population structure, decline, and their impact on future economic development. Several countries experiencing population decline, like Iran, Japan, and Germany, are mentioned. Charts are included showing population structures and dependency ratios. The document discusses how too many young or elderly dependents compared to the working population can affect a country's wealth and development, using Germany and Uganda as examples. It concludes by asking students to provide advice to the governments of Germany and Uganda to address their different population structure problems.
A2development
Traditionally, development was defined and measured through economic indicators like GNP per capita. However, modern definitions see development as improving quality of life through meeting basic needs, social justice, health, education, and freedom. Quality of life is now often measured through indices that consider factors like life expectancy, education, and income. These measures provide a more holistic view of development than purely economic metrics but still have limitations in capturing inequality and changes over time.
Problems of contemporary world
This document discusses several problems of the contemporary world, including globalization, poverty, wealth inequality, and poverty in Latin America. It notes that problems in one country can affect others due to globalization. It asks what people can do and what basic needs exist with only $1.50 or $2.50 per day to live on. It also questions how developed countries can help poor ones and examines the conditions in third world and Latin American countries. Links are provided to maps about poverty in Latin America, world economic development, and pandemic spread.
Demographic Dividend "Boon or bane"
The document discusses India's demographic dividend and whether it will be a boon or bane. It notes that India is experiencing a decline in fertility rates and increase in life expectancy, leading to a decline in the dependency ratio and opening a window of opportunity. However, it warns that many of India's large working-age population have low educational attainment, which could limit their ability to contribute to the economy and realize the potential growth from the dividend. It concludes that while growth may create some opportunities, achieving the full potential of the dividend would require better education and skills training for the workforce.
Mr. d. developed and developing countries
The document discusses levels of economic development and indicators used to measure development. It compares characteristics of developed and developing countries. Developed countries tend to have low population growth, high literacy, long life expectancy, and a primarily tertiary economy. Developing countries face challenges accessing resources and capital needed for development. Factors like location, infrastructure, and political alliances also affect a country's economic activity.
pursuit of inclusive growth report
The document discusses inclusive growth, which it defines as rapid, sustained economic growth that creates many jobs, broadly shares benefits, and continuously reduces mass poverty. It notes that the Philippines has historically had unsatisfactory economic growth for three reasons: its growth has been slower than neighbors, benefits have not been widely shared, and corruption and legitimacy issues have undermined public policy. Specifically, the Philippines' average annual growth of 3% since 1981 is below other Asian economies and has resulted in stagnant per capita incomes, while poverty has remained high and inequality erratic. Quality, inclusive growth requires rapid output and job creation that reduces poverty.

Education
The document discusses public-private partnerships (PPPs) in education in India. It outlines two main types of PPPs - direct aid to private schools and school vouchers for parents. While private schooling is growing in India, PPPs have had mixed results due to lack of incentives for teachers and accountability issues. The document argues for carefully designed PPPs that incorporate incentives and accountability measures based on international evidence in order to potentially improve educational outcomes in India.
Today`s education system
The document discusses issues with India's current education system and proposes reforms. It notes that the system focuses too much on theoretical knowledge and preparing students for exams rather than practical skills. It also says the system does not allow for individuality or creativity. The document calls for making education more tailored to students' interests and society's needs, as well as increasing government support for education.
Diversity Education: Enhancing Online Courses with Web 2.0
The document discusses limitations of traditional Learning Management Systems (LMS) and how they can be enhanced with Web 2.0 tools. It provides examples of how social media and collaborative tools allow for more diverse forms of learning and expression beyond text-based content. These include tools for multimedia content creation, cultural exploration, virtual field trips, examining biases, and reflecting on course readings. The document advocates for starting learning outside of the LMS by utilizing new online tools and platforms that enable more social and student-driven learning.
Public private partnership in health sector kenya
PPP Health-KENYA aims to improve access to quality healthcare for Kenyans through public-private partnerships (PPPs). Its vision is for public and private sectors to work together on healthcare. Its mission is to foster dialogue on policy issues related to PPPs among government, private, and nonprofit healthcare groups. PPP Health-KENYA will influence policies to promote greater private sector involvement and identify effective PPP models. Its first year workplan includes participating in policy forums, supporting healthcare policy reform, and establishing frameworks and partnerships for PPPs.

The document summarizes reasons why Ethiopia is less developed than other countries. It discusses factors such as education/technology levels, political instability/natural disasters, large population size relative to resources, and a high dependency ratio due to a large young population. These factors have created a cycle of poverty that hinders Ethiopia's economic development.
Measuring Poverty 2010
This document discusses different ways to measure poverty, including income-based measures and measures of access to basic needs. It provides poverty line figures for the National Capital Region and Philippines from 2006-2008 based on income. Approximately 33% of Filipinos and 27% of families were considered poor in 2006 based on official income poverty lines. The document also examines self-rated poverty measures, deprivation of basic needs like education and health access, and quality of life measures like life expectancy and education test scores to analyze poverty in the Philippines. Inequality in land and asset distribution as well as inflation are discussed as potential causes of poverty.

The document discusses the demographic transition model (DTM) and population trends in different parts of the world. It provides data on birth rates, death rates, population growth rates, life expectancy and total fertility rates globally and across various regions. The DTM shows how these indicators change as countries develop, typically from high birth and death rates to lower rates as countries industrialize. The model has four stages that reflect these transitions. The document also notes some countries may now be entering a fifth stage where population declines as birth rates fall below replacement levels.
Lesson2 I Development
There are several traditional and modern ways to measure a country's level of development. Traditionally, development was equated with economic growth and countries were classified based on their Gross National Product per capita. However, GNP has limitations and does not reflect differences in cost of living between countries. More modern measures include Purchasing Power Parity per capita, energy consumption, percentage of the workforce in different sectors, and quality of life indices like the Human Development Index which considers education, income, and health. Collecting accurate social and demographic data to measure development can be challenging for various reasons.
Population Populationdevelopment
Traditionally, development was defined and measured through economic indicators like GNP per capita. However, modern definitions see development as improving quality of life through meeting basic needs, social justice, health, education, and freedom. Quality of life is now commonly measured through indices like the Physical Quality of Life Index, Human Development Index, and International Human Suffering Index which use a broader range of social and economic factors. However, accurately measuring development remains challenging due to limitations in data collection and inequality within countries.

UP Economists- Population, the Real Score
This document discusses the relationship between population growth, poverty, and development in the Philippines based on analysis of macroeconomic data, household surveys, and people's views. Some key points:
1) While poverty has many causes, rapid population growth exacerbates poverty by reducing resources available per person. The Philippines' high population growth makes its poverty reduction target difficult to achieve.
2) Household survey data show poverty rates rise with larger family size, and mean income, spending, education investment, and health spending fall as family size increases.
3) Most Filipinos want smaller families but poor families in particular lack access to family planning and have more children than desired. A national population policy is needed to address

This document discusses poverty in Bangladesh. It defines different types of poverty and identifies the main causes as illiteracy, malnutrition, lack of shelter, clothing, health services, and more. These issues are interconnected and reinforce one another in a "vicious circle of poverty." The document also provides statistics on literacy rates in Bangladesh and compares poverty rates over recent decades, showing a reduction. It outlines several steps that could be taken to further alleviate poverty, such as improving education, creating jobs, developing agriculture, and encouraging non-governmental organizations. Challenges to reducing poverty include lack of funds, planning, infrastructure, and political stability. Overall, the document analyzes the nature and causes of poverty in Bangladesh as well as potential solutions
Zong 4G - Activation plan
There is a high level of anxiety among Pakistani youth due to issues happening around the world, in the country, and in their personal lives. They are most concerned about the state of the economy, unemployment, costs of living and healthcare. Over 80% say the recession has impacted them personally. While anxious about the present, many are also pessimistic about the future economic conditions. This is largely attributed to a lack of confidence in the current government and its ability to improve the situation. Pakistani youth are heavily engaged with technology and own multiple electronic devices, though they see distraction as a form of entertainment rather than participation.
Global inequalities
This document discusses global inequalities of income, wealth, and social development. It covers topics like geoeconomics, trends in global income inequality within and between countries, debates around measuring global inequality, and forms of social inequality regarding human development, health, gender, race, and ethnicity. Specific data on global trends in life expectancy, literacy rates, and school enrollment by gender are presented. Causes of health inequalities and continuing challenges relating to inequalities based on gender, race, and ethnicity are also examined.
The population pyramid and overpopulation
A population pyramid represents the distribution of different age groups in a country. In developed countries like the UK, a narrow base means low birth and death rates, leading to an aging population. Life expectancy in the UK has increased due to excellent healthcare. The population pyramid for Bangladesh shows a high birth rate and high infant mortality rate. For MEDC countries the typical pyramid shape results from low birth and death rates.
5.1 Development Economics Introduction
The document provides information on the characteristics of developing nations.

Poverty Full Topic with different examples, interventions and ways to reduce it.IBA, University of the Punjab, Lahore
Poverty has many negative effects and can perpetuate across generations. Children who grow up in poverty often face disadvantages in education and health that make it difficult to escape the cycle of poverty. They are more likely to fall behind in school and have worse educational and career outcomes. This in turn affects their ability to lift themselves and their own children out of poverty. Breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty requires addressing the root causes and improving access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunity.4b_World_Bank__17_.pptx
The document discusses principles and methods for constructing and updating poverty measures. It explains that poverty has multiple dimensions beyond just income or consumption, including health, education, and security. Good poverty measures should be understandable, fit their purpose, and be technically sound. Countries may want to update measures to better monitor poverty over time and compare across locations. Common approaches include setting a monetary poverty line and indices to assess the depth and severity of poverty. The document also discusses choices in measuring household welfare and making cross-country comparisons while addressing issues like price levels and household size.

The document discusses the construction and updating of poverty measures. It explains that poverty is multidimensional, comprising low income as well as other factors like health, education, and security. Good poverty measures should be understandable, fit their purpose, and be technically sound. Countries update measures to better monitor and address poverty over time and between regions. Common approaches include monetary measures using consumption/income adjusted for household size and prices to set poverty lines. Non-monetary measures also exist. Proper adjustments and choice of welfare indicator affect results.
Young People and the Future of Emerging Markets
Green Templeton College, University of Oxford, 2016: Emerging market populations have never been younger and may never be larger.
Over one billion young people (aged between 10 and 24) live in Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Turkey and smaller emerging markets. India has over 700 million and China more than 500 million people under 30. This offers huge potential to harness their energy and creativity by engaging them in productive activities.
Participants in the symposium on Young People and the Future of Emerging Markets concluded that governments’ failure to understand the mind sets of young people, master intergenerational communications and take measures to preserve the planet for future generations is extremely short sighted.
The Emerging Markets Symposium brought together over 50 international experts and graduate students from 20 emerging market and high income countries. Hosted by Green Templeton College on 7-10 January, the symposium was designed to ensure its conclusions were grounded in the insights and priorities of young people.

Cartagena Data Festival 2015: Making older people count Pt 1
The world is ageing rapidly. Globally, there are already more older people than children under the age of five. By 2030 older people will outnumber those aged 10. Despite this, current data systems are not fit for purpose in today's ageing world. Data on older women and men is often not collected. When it does exist, it is not fully analysed, reported or used, leading to older people being neglected in policies and development interventions.
HelpAge International held a unique side event at the Cartagena Data Festival on 20 April 2015 - the only one to focus on the emerging issue of ageing.
Our panel reviewed the progress and challenges of making data on older age more visible, with a view to highlighting gaps and good practice, including making national and global data more accessible.
Part 1 - Global data, demographic change and inequality
Chair: Danny Sriskandarajah, Secretary General and CEO, CIVICUS: Opening comments on importance of use of data by citizens of all ages.
Sabina Alkire, Director OPHI: Multi-dimensional poverty measurement: What lessons can be drawn to improve age- disaggregated data?
