Description

This unit teaches pupils about global economic development. Pupils learn how, using a variety of measures, economic development is unequal and how this is reflected in demographic characteristics. Pupils learn about the causes and consequences of inequality and consider how they can be reduced.

This unit enables pupils to build on their global locational knowledge to consider patterns of economic development and inequality. Previously taught units on hazards help to inform an understanding of the causes of global inequality. Subsequent units build on this overview by considering resources, such as food, water and energy.
