|
|
It's internal(internalists)What is GINI COEfficient? |
distribution of £ etc in one country. This would show the inequality within a country eg Brazil inequality |

It's internal(internalists)Evaluate the Composite Development indicators
|
EVAL-+Overcomes limitations of individual measures
-Not meant less dev countries collect reliable data on women's involvement in £ participation - doesn't reveal rural/urban differences -not all social measures are included-ignores impact on environment |
|
|
It's internal(internalists)Evaluate the Social Development indicators
|
EVAL- -Validity and Comparability eg some countries do not show official stats
-death rates can be inflated eg war/disease -poorer countries may into register births and deaths -CULTURAL IMPERIALISM=what is seen as important by dev world |
|
|
It's internal(internalists)Evaluate the Economic Development indicators
|
EVAL- - If country has high GDP people may still live poorer if the cost of living is expensive.
-no insight into how wealth is distributed within the society - Poorer countries with low GDP eg Cuba has 100% lit rate and free healthcare=ETHNOCENTRIC |
|
