Opportunities for people living in the city
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can explain how population growth has created opportunities for people in Jakarta.
Key learning points
- Rapid population growth creates opportunities for people in Jakarta.
- Rapid population growth has provided opportunities to access resources in Jakarta.
- Rapid population growth has provided employment opportunities in Jakarta.
Keywords
Access - the ability people have to make use of essential services such as water, electricity, healthcare and education
Opportunity - a positive feature or benefit that improves people's lives, such as access to clean water, jobs, healthcare or education
Employment - the availability of jobs and work for people, often used to measure economic opportunity and development
Common misconception
Education and healthcare in Jakarta only improve wellbeing, not economic opportunities.
Both sectors also create job opportunities. Schools, hospitals, and research centres employ many people, and better education leads to higher-skilled, better-paid work.
Teacher tip
Use GIS to map the locations of schools, universities, hospitals, and health centres in Jakarta alongside population and income data. This shows where education and healthcare facilities are concentrated, helping to identify where new opportunities could be developed.
