Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can explain how rapid economic change has had positive and negative impacts on people in Indonesia.
Key learning points
- Rapid economic growth in Indonesia has had positive and negative impacts.
- Rapid economic change has contributed to demographic change (fertility and death rates).
- Rapid economic change has caused urbanisation and created regional disparities in Indonesia.
- Economic development and globalisation have had positive and negative impacts on different age and gender groups.
Keywords
Fertility rate - average number of children per woman in a population
Death rate - number of deaths per 1000 people per year
Inequality - unequal access to resources, wealth or opportunities
Common misconception
Economic development in Indonesia benefits everyone equally.
Economic development in Indonesia is mostly focused in urban areas like Jakarta and Java. Rural areas often miss out on investment, leading to unequal access to jobs, services, and infrastructure.
Teacher tip
Students could use GIS layers for population density and for city size to further investigate how economic development affects where people live in Indonesia.
