- Birth rate
- number of babies born per thousand of the population per year
- as a country develops it gets higher
- Death rate
- number of deaths per thousand of the population per year
- as a country develops it gets lower
- Infant mortality

- People per doctor

- Limitations of using a single development measure
- shouldn't be used on their own because as a country develops, some aspects develop before others
- can be misleading when used on their own because they're averages
