1: Development

1.) Development: a
process where something is further refined, improved or expanded. Something
becomes more adapt, more efficient. Infrastructure is built, technology is
bettered.
2.) GNI per person, life expectancy, infant mortality rate,
percentage of children receiving secondary education, number of fixed-line and
cell phones per 1000 people, GDP,.

5. It is an accurate account of how a country is developing,
as it measures poverty, literacy, life expectancy and education. Should it be
found that a country is dealing well with all of these aspects (developing
them, then it is safe to say that it is developed, seeing as it’s general
population are better provided for, its public systems have been improved.
These are all indicators of how well a country is able to function, therefore,
a developed country is a country that has been “bettered”, and therefore these
factors are part of a developed country. More than one indicator used.
5.1 There is a small correlation. Some countries with high
rates of female death at birth, are also among the top ten lowest HDI ranking
countries.
5.2 As the infant mortality rate is a factor in deciding
which countries are developed and which aren’t, some countries with high infant
mortality rates are among the top ten lowest ranking HDI countries. Low HDI ranking companies don't have very
good access to medical care, or even other things like clean water. These
factors make for high health risks, causing death at birth.
5.3 High infant mortality rates, low GNI per person, poor
health care. Lack of employment.
5.4 Subsistence farming is when a farming community farms
not to trade the products, but to use them for the upkeep of the community,
i.e. to feed the community with its own crops/livestock.
5.5 They need to create enough products to be able to export.
(Better farm machines, bigger crops)
6. Sustainable Development means that the resources fuelling
development are used in such a way that they might be used for a longer period
of time, i.e. not exhausted
