Industrial Revolution
This country is considered the hearth of the Industrial Revolution.
Great Britain
Farming, fishing, and mining are all part of this sector.
Primary sector
This measures the average economic output per person.
GDP per capita
In general, as women’s education increases, this demographic measure tends to decrease.
Fertility rate
This model divides the world into core, semiperiphery, and periphery.
World-systems theory
A country where most workers are farmers is likely in which sector-dominant stage?
Primary sector dominant
Before factories, many goods were made in homes through this system.
Cottage industry
Manufacturing and construction are examples of this sector.
Secondary sector
A country with high literacy, high life expectancy, and low infant mortality is generally considered more what?
More developed
Greater access to education and employment for women often improves this overall condition of a country.
Economic development
According to this theory, factories locate where transportation, labor, and agglomeration costs are minimized
Weber’s Least Cost Theory
A country shifting from manufacturing to finance and technology is becoming more what?
Postindustrial
One major effect of industrialization was the movement of people from rural areas into these places.
Cities / urban areas
Teaching, healthcare, and retail belong to this sector.
Tertiary sector
This composite index combines health, education, and income.
HDI / Human Development Index
This term refers to equality between men and women in rights, opportunities, and status.
Gender parity / gender equality
occurs when similar businesses cluster together to benefit from shared labor, servic,es, and infrastructure
Agglomeration
If a factory opens and nearby restaurants, stores, and housing all expand, this is called what?
Multiplier effect
Industrialization encouraged this process as countries sought raw materials, labor, and markets.
Imperialism / colonialism
Software development, financial analysis, and data science are in this sector.
Quaternary sector
A high infant mortality rate usually suggests this about development.
Lower development
Why does higher female literacy often lead to lower fertility rates?
Because women with more education often delay childbirth, have more career opportunities, and have greater access to family planning.
In world-systems theory, countries that provide raw materials and cheap labor are called this.
If a wealthy country closes factories and loses manufacturing jobs, this process is occurring.
Deindustrialization
Explain why industrialization caused urbanization.
Because factories created jobs in cities, rural workers moved to urban areas for employment.
Top executives and major decision-makers are part of this sector.
Quinary sector
Explain why GDP per capita alone does not tell the full story of development.
Because it measures average income but does not show inequality, healthcare, education, or quality of life.
Explain one way gender inequality can slow development.
If women have less access to education or jobs, half the population cannot fully contribute to the economy, which lowers productivity and growth.
A country has high GDP per capita but also high gender inequality and low female literacy. What does this suggest?
Economic wealth does not automatically mean equal social development or full gender parity.
