Study Notes
Measurements of Human Wellbeing
- Spatial distribution refers to the arrangement of natural and human features over an area of the Earth's surface, which can be mapped graphically.
- Spatial variation refers to the difference or variation in natural and human features over an area of the Earth's surface, such as water use, population, GDP, and life expectancy.
Map Types
- Choropleth maps display a theme using shading of a color.
- Cartogram maps distort the geometry or space of the map to convey information about a specific variable.
Population Pyramids
- Population pyramids are visual displays of a population in a country, using two sets of bar graphs with a central scale measuring age groups in 5-year groupings.
- Features and trends of population pyramids include:
- Triangular: growing number of older dependents, large number of younger dependents
- Bee hive/barrel: stable numbers between all age groups
- Rectangular: low number of older dependents, large working age group, shrinking younger dependents
Measures of Human Wellbeing
- Human Development Index (HDI) ranks countries into four tiers of human development based on:
- Life expectancy
- Education
- Per capita income
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is used to rank countries.
- World Happiness Report (WHR) measures the happiness of countries, including:
- GDP per capita
- Healthy life expectancy
- Freedom to make life choices
- Social support
- Generosity
- Absence of corruption
- Sustainable Economic Development Assessment (SEDA) evaluates economic development.
- Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an organization that promotes economic growth and development.
