Study Notes
Geographic Location and Educational Inequality
- Rural areas often have fewer schools and longer distances between schools and homes.
- Urban schools typically have better infrastructure.
- Rural schools may struggle to attract and retain qualified teachers.
- Rural-urban educational inequality can cause internal migration.
Developed vs. Developing Countries
- Developed countries generally have consistent and sufficient educational funding, leading to better quality and facilities.
- Developed-developing country educational inequality can cause international migration (brain drain).
Education and Development
- Education and development are strongly interconnected.
- Education is both a driver and outcome of development.
- Education leads to improvements in many areas: prenatal care, clean water, sanitation, and medical innovations.
Inequality in Healthcare
- Pharmaceutical companies contribute to better health but can create health inequalities.
- Inequality occurs due to high medication costs (consumption barrier).
- This is compounded by differing availabilities (supply barriers) and regional pricing differences (consumption barrier).
- Research priorities of pharmaceutical companies are sometimes focused on profitable markets, leading to a delayed/misdirected treatment approach.
Foreign Aid
- Foreign aid is the transfer of capital, goods, or services from one country (donor) to another (recipient) to support development.
- Bilateral aid is direct assistance between two countries.
- Multilateral aid is channeled through international organizations.
