MDC = More Developed Countries
LDC = Less Developed Countries

Australia, Canada, USA, Japan, France
Examples of LDCs
Bhutan, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Nepal
How do we determine if a country is a MDC or a LDC?
Human Development Index (HDI): A composite statistic of life expectancy, education and per capita income indicators, which are used to rank countries.
“Composite statistic?”
● Gross Domestic Product● Literacy Rate● Life Expectancy
Highest HDI Possible = 1.0 or 100%
Economic Factors: GDPGross Domestic Product (GDP): The total value of goods produced and services provided in a country during one year.
GDP per capita: Divides a country’s GDP by its total population
Why would GDP tell us if a country is developed or not?

ExamplesU.S GDP $18.57 Trillion Dollars GDP per capita $57,400.00
UK GDP $2.622Trillion Dollars GDP per capita $42,514.49
Afghanistan GDP: $19.47 Billion dollars GDP per capita $561.00
GDP per capita total amount of goods and services produced in a country divided by the total population of that country.
End result is the value of the average person's production in their country for a particular year.
Social Factors: Literacy rate and Amount of EducationLiteracy Rate: The percentage of people who are able to read or write
● What percentage of the U.S. is literate?● What opportunities do you miss out on if you can’t read or write?
Demographic Factors: Life ExpectancyLife Expectancy: The average period of time that a person may expect to live
What types of things influence life expectancy?
Employment, education, diet, etc.
