what are some economic development indicators
food intale, primary employment
high percentage of primary employment= low development rate, why?
Because it means the country doesnt have enough money to afford the machinery needed for these jobs, and they are done by hand, meaning that it doesnt keep up with demand levels.
high deathe rate= low development, why?
because it means that the lidcs dont have enough money for healthcare unlike the ac's, meaning that they cant afford things such as vaccinations, etc. This leads to a rise in death rates due to lack of medical resources/ attention.
high GDP per capita= high level of development, why?
Bceuase this means that tax revune is high which then means there is more money to invest in services such as healthcare, this then means life expectancy rates go up.
high life expectancy= high development, why?
because it means that the acs have good money which means that they can fund the healthcare services and gain access to medical resources such as vaccinations, etc. This then means that life expectancy goes up.
