What this set covers
Measuring and improving development are the focus. The Human Development Index, Gender Inequality Index, Gini coefficient, Lorenz curve, purchasing power parity, Rostow and dependency theory, microfinance, debt relief and tied and multilateral aid appear.
- Common mix-up
- Students often confuse the Gini coefficient and the Lorenz curve: the Lorenz curve plots cumulative income against cumulative population, and the Gini coefficient summarises its inequality as a single value from 0 to 1.
- Revision tip
- Draw a Lorenz curve with the line of equality, then contrast Rostow's modernisation view with dependency theory in two sentences.
