Global Economics • Enormous gaps between the rich and poor countries of the world-25,000 die of hunger each day (most under 5).

• Some states are still subsistence based while others have moved beyond manufacturing to tertiary economies.

• Even within the wealthy or First World nations there are often areas of economic disparity within regions

Measuring Development

Gross National Product (GNP) Measure of the total value of the officially recorded goods and services produced by the citizens and corporations of a country in a given year. Includes things produced inside and outside a country’s territory.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Measure of the total value of the officially recorded goods and services produced by the citizens and corporations of a country in a given year.

Gross National Income (GNI) Measure of the monetary worth of what is produced within a country plus income received from investments outside the country. ** Most common measurement used today.

Concepts & Approaches• Gross National Product-all goods & services produced

by the economy per year both inside & outside the nation• Gross Domestic Product-all goods & services produced

by the economy per year with in the nation • GNP or GDP does not reflect regional variations-it also

doesn’t count the informal economy-black market, illegal drug trade & underground economy

• Developed Countries-(DCs) have high levels of industrialization, urbanization & standard of living

• Underdeveloped (UDCs) or Developing Countries are moving toward developed status-not as highly industrialized or urbanized with a lower standard of living

Measures of Development• National Product per person-the total

income divided by total population-Core (developed) about $25,000 while Periphery (developing) as low as $100.

• Occupational Structure of the Labor Force-% of workers in each section-high number in agriculture signals low development

• Consumption of Energy per Person-the greater the use of electricity-the higher the development

• Productivity per Worker-production of all goods divided by the total labor force

Measures of Development• Transportation & Communication per

person-railroad, road miles and airline connections per person as well as telephone, radio, television or computers per person.

• Consumption of Manufactured Metal per Person-the greater the amount of steel, iron, copper, aluminum etc. used per person

• Other Rates-– Literacy– Caloric intake– % of income spent on food– Amount of savings per person
