Global variations in development Typeit

Levels of development can be measured in several different ways and there is no one way of measuring global development. One method of measuring global development is by looking at the HDI rating for each country. HDI stands for , and is an example of a indictor as it uses more than one factor to determine a country’s development level. HDI is often seen as a better development indicator than single indicators such as GDP or GNI per capita which are examples of measures and do not factor into account social or environmental development. One way of modelling linear development is through the DTM, which stands for the . The DTM has stages and shows the links between birth and rates and the total population. The rate of global development is vastly uneven. This is leading to certain inequalities for many people and creating something known as the gap, whereby the richest people in society are becoming richer and poorer people are stuck in a cycle of poverty.
