Part One:
a. The development indicators I chose for Variable Set 1 were Life Expectancy in Years and Income Per Person. These show how long a person is expected to live and how much money they make. The development indicators I chose for Variable Set 2 were Services (% of GDP) and Agriculture (% of GDF) These show the percentage of Gross Domestic Product that is in Services and in Agriculture.
b. The higher the Life Expectancy and Income Per Person, the more developed the economy. The more jobs in the service sector and the less in the agriculture sector, the more developed the economy.
Part Two:
a. When Income Per Person went up, so did Life Expectancy. Places with lower incomes had lower life expectancy. This was true for all countries. All countries increased both Life Expectancy and Income Per Person over time. Services and Agriculture showed MDCs having more service sector jobs and LDCs having more agriculture jobs. When Services went up, Agriculture went down. There were few exceptions. Agriculture has gone down everywhere, and for the most part, service sector jobs have grown, showing that while some economies are more developed than others, all have improved.
b. A higher Income Per Person shows that the economy is more developed, because there is more money to be paid to workers. A higher Life Expectancy shows that there could be more money to spend on things like health care, so the economy is better than if there were not. Places with more jobs in the service sector have less in agriculture, and usually have more developed economies. Better economies need less work in agriculture, since often food can be produced without as much labor, or can be imported from elsewhere. Better economies generally have more service jobs.
