Development

Introduction

Development, in this case, means the progress of a country and how much the country has matured. Development is a process of change and improving peoples lives. Also development is shown by the quality if life from people in a country.  This is shown in many ways and in this assessment I will explain development to you. The development of a country is very important as it will improve and lengthen people’s lives. A more developed country has on average a better quality of life and is normally but not always economically richer. In this project we will be looking at how countries become more developed and what factors make a country developed.

Method

I found many things about 10 different countries. I found out the GDP per capita in each country in US$, the energy consumption per capita, the death rate per 1000 people, the birth rate per 1000 people, the amount of internet users in 1000’s and the infant mortality rate per 1000 births. All of these factors put together for each country will decide how developed that country is.        The countries I looked at were: United Kingdom, Italy, Sierra Leone, Nepal, Argentina, Venezuela, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Brunei and Iraq. I got my information off a website called http://www.un.org/Pubs/CyberSchoolBus/ this website gave me all the information I needed.

GDP per capita in US$ stands for Gross Domestic Product. It measures the national income and output for a country's economy. Energy consumption per capita is the measure of all energy and power used per capita. It measures carbon dioxide emissions. Death rate per 1000 people measures the death rate in the country per 1000 people. The average for the world is 9. The birth rate per 1000 people measures how many babies are born per 1000 people. The amount of internet users in 1000’s measures how many people in a country have access to the internet. The infant mortality rate measures the number of deaths of children less than 1 year old per thousand live births.

Results and analysis

This graph shows the Gdp per capita in US$ for each country. The country with the highest Gdp is the United Kingdom. It has a Gdp of 24323$. Slovakia could not give any information about their Gdp. This may be because they do not have the equipment or knowledge to find out. Sierra Leone has the next lowest with 159$. The UK has about 15 times the amount of Gdp per capita more than Sierra Leone. This graph shows that the UK is the most developed country in terms of their Gdp per capita ...
