(4 marks) Race of life FOUR students will participate in the race of life, where you will move from the starting line to the finish line. The goal is to reach the finish line as quickly as possible, but you must follow the rules! Depending on your assigned identity, you may have a head start! Videos: 1. https://www.youtube.com/watc h?v=FBQx8FmOT_0 Race of life Watch the following videos. 2. https://www.youtube.com/watc h?v=vX_Vzl-r8NY Based on the previous activity and the videos, what do you think this means in relation to human wellbeing? Race of life - Reflection Activity 1. What did you learn about the concept of human well-being through this activity? 2. Reflect on the obstacles and advantages you encountered during the activity. How do these parallels real-life situations where people face challenges or privileges that impact their well-being? Regional Disparities CREDITS: This presentation template was created by Slidesgo, including icons by Flaticon, and infographics & images by Freepik. Regional Have you ever noticed differences in living conditions or opportunities in disparities different regions of the world? Discuss the following! Think about difference in your own country and globally. Regional disparities Regional disparities in human wellbeing is the differences in quality of life, opportunities, and access to resources among different regions or areas of the world. What factors do you think contribute to regional disparities? The following website compares the average yearly and monthly income of Income a person in different countries. disparities Choose TWO countries and explain https://www.worlddata.info/average-income.p how the differences in their average hp income can affect their human wellbeing. Income disparities between regions Use the link to see the most common job in each suburb of inner Sydney The most common job in each metropolitan Sydney suburb Educational disparities Choose TWO countries and explain how the differences in their average years of schooling can affect their human wellbeing. - Education and Job Opportunities : People who stay in school longer generally learn more skills, which opens up more job opportunities. Better jobs usually mean higher incomes, allowing people to afford things that improve their quality of life. In contrast, those with less schooling might find it harder to get well-paying jobs. - Empowerment and Decision-Making : Education gives people more power to make informed decisions about their own lives and communities. People who have gone to school are better equipped to make decisions about their personal finances, family planning, and participation in their government. - Impact on Communities : decreased poverty and crime rates, as well as better public services like healthcare and clean water. Educated populations are also more likely to advocate for environmental protection and sustainable practices, improving wellbeing for everyone in the community. Pollution disparities Choose TWO countries and explain how the differences in their air pollution can affect their human wellbeing. - Health Problems : In places with high air pollution, people can have more health problems. Breathing polluted air can cause asthma, lung infections, and even heart disease. People who live in areas with cleaner air are generally healthier and live longer because their lungs and bodies aren’t damaged. - Quality of Life : Air pollution can make daily life harder. It can cause coughing, difficulty breathing, and irritate the eyes. This can affect how people feel every day and stop them from enjoying outdoor activities. In areas with less pollution, people can spend more time outside and have a better quality of life. - Environmental Damage : Polluted air can damage crops and forests, which impacts food supply and nature. If nature is damaged, it can lower the wellbeing of communities that depend on farming or enjoy natural spaces. - Economic Impact : People may need to take more sick days from work because they are unwell, and governments have to spend more money on healthcare to treat pollution-related illnesses. Cleaner air means fewer health problems, less strain on healthcare systems, and more people staying productive at work, which helps boost the economy. Happiness disparities 1. Which continent has the lowest happiness level? 2. Why do continents such as Australia, Europe and North America, have the highest levels of happiness? 3. Is there a connection between the spatial distribution of happiness and the development of countries? In groups, you will be given a region to compare. Activity Explain why there are disparities in Regions: that region and propose possible 1. Developed vs Developing Countries 2. Urban vs Rural solutions to reduce these disparities. 3. Regional disparities within a country 4. Coastal vs inland disparities Disparities Cause of Solutions to reduce the Disparities disparity Developed vs Developing countries Urban vs Rural Regional disparities within a country Coastal vs inland disparities Measuring Human Wellbeing CREDITS: This presentation template was created by Slidesgo, including icons by Flaticon, and infographics & images by Freepik. Human Development Index The Human Development Index (HDI) is a statistical tool used to evaluate the level of individual human development in each country. The HDI is a number HDI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmDMYw between 0 and 1. The closer the number is to 1, the more WVgGQ advantaged a country is and thus have a higher human GDP: wellbeing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLom1Wlq wS0 MEASURES: health, wealth and education HOW DOES IT MEASURE? Health = life expectancy rates Wealth = Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Education = literacy rates Health Life Expectancy: 54.1 years Poor access to health services Limited number of health workers Wealth South Sudan Average Income: 460 US$ Experienced prolonged periods of conflict and political instability 0.385 Civil war and ethnic violence have disrupted governance High levels of poverty and food insecurity Country with a Low Human Development Index (HDI) 2021 Education 4.7 years Inadequate facilities and insufficiently trained professionals Lack of quality education Ongoing conflict and displacement have disrupted education systems, leading to closure of schools Measuring human wellbeing in Australia HDI What is Australia’s HDI? Why is it this number? Research: health (life expectancy), wealth (gross domestic product) education (literacy rates) Activity Find the Human Development Index (HDI) for the following countries: Qatar Ukraine Congo (democratic republic of) Research the following for each country: Average life expectancy Average years in schooling Gross domestic product (GDP) Measuring human wellbeing world wide Countries with unequal wealth distribution!

(example quiz question) Sustainable Development CREDITS: This presentation template was created by Slidesgo, including icons by Flaticon, and infographics & images by Freepik. Sustainable Development Sustainable development refers to development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Why is sustainable development important for the well-being of people and the planet? Sustainable Development Goals The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. These goals are designed to address a wide range of global challenges and improve well-being for people and the planet. They build upon the work of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which were in place from 2000 to 2015. While the MDGs mainly focused on issues related to poverty and basic human needs, the SDGs focused on a broader range of global issues.

WHAT WOULD YOU INCLUDE IN THIS RESPONSE? QUESTION TIME DISTINGUISH BETWEEN ABSOLUTE AND RELATIVE POVERTY 4 MARKS Australia People who are financially disadvantaged have limited financial means to be included in society, and to access the services they need to live a healthy and fulfilled life. Those who are socially disadvantaged are typically alienated from friends and family, lack informal support networks, and may display challenging behaviours and/or isolate themselves. This is a common issue in most developed nations Some groups in Australian society are more vulnerable to disadvantage and/or poverty than others. People at risk of financial or social disadvantage in Australia include: - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, those living in rural and remote communities - people living with disability or mental illness, newly arrived migrants (particularly those without English) - older adults (COVID??), - People disadvantaged by various economic, cultural, social or educational factors.

Recommended solution for the selected issue Population Pyramids CREDITS: This presentation template was created by Slidesgo, including icons by Flaticon, and infographics & images by Freepik. DISCUSS WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT ITALY’S POPULATION Things you guys need to consider during the discussion Developed Birth Rate Religion Working population Economy Population Pyramids https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/pe ople/population/population-clock-py ramid Population pyramids are graphical representations of a population's age and gender distribution. The graph is made by putting two bar graphs (one for male and one for female) side by side. From this, you can read what percentage of a population is of a certain age and gender. Population Pyramids Y- axis What can we see? Let's Discuss! X- axis SHAPE OF PYRAMID What does the shape of a population pyramid mean? Barrel: Growing number of Triangle: older people Low number of older Large bulge in people working age group Large number of Shrinking number of younger people younger people Rectangular: Stable number between all age groups What does the shape of a population pyramid mean? Shape and Type of Pyramid Features and Trends of Population Pyramid Inferences for a Population Triangle Low number of older dependants Large number of younger dependants Bee Hive/Barrel Growing number of older dependants Large bulge in the working age group Shrinking younger dependants Rectangle Stable numbers between all age groups Match the possible effects each feature might mean for the population. How can population pyramids provide insights into a country's human wellbeing? Age distribution - if there are more young people or elderly in comparison to the working-age people, this can strain resources and services. Economic productivity - if there are many working-age people, this can contribute to economic growth. Healthcare - a large elderly population can indicate a demand for health care, while a large young population may require more maternal and child health services. Policy planning - governments can use the information to develop policies for healthcare, education, labour force, etc. Practice Question How can population pyramids provide insights into a country's human wellbeing? 4 marks Begin your response with - What is population pyramid? Why is it useful for the government? How does the government uses the information of the population pyramid? How does the government respond to the information to help with Human well being? Draw a population pyramid! Using the data, draw a population pyramid on Australia’s projected population in 2051. What can you infer about Australia’s from the population pyramid? Think about: Birth rates and life expectancy Is it a young, aged or aging population What policies would the government need to create for Australia in 2051 Afghanistan's population pyramid 2024 Demonstrate how a population pyramid can provide insights into Afghanistan’s human wellbeing. (4 marks) Syria’s Population Pyramid 2024 Well Done for Completing Stage 5 Geography! “I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities.
