- Development is...
- the ways in which a country seeks to develop economically and to improve economically and to improve the standard of living for inhabitants
- it is difficult to define - is it a process or a goal?
- a process that never stops as even 'rich' countries will continue to develop
- a very EUROCENTRIC idea as we relate development to us - who is to say that we are 'best' way and the 'most developed'
- a multi-dimensional process determined by economics, technological advances, social and demographic changes, natural resources and politics
- SUBJECTIVE
- The Development Gap is...
- the widening difference in the level of development between the world's poorest and richest countries
- can occur within countries between regions or rural and urban areas as well as between countries
