Feeling or idea that the word suggests

Slide 8 - Diapositive

Newly Industrialising Countries (NICs)

Newly Industrialising country (NIC) = Country with a level of development between an LEDC and an MEDC; more and more people work in factories.



Slide 9 - Diapositive

How to recognise rich and poor countries?
  • Observe with your eyes
  • Subjective
  • Look at specific development indicators
  • Objective
Influenced by your own meaning
Data that has little to no influence from people

Slide 10 - Diapositive

Rich and poor on different scales
  • Global scale level: Rich and poor countries (North - South division).
  • National scale level: Cities and countryside (regions).                        
  • Regional disparities = Differences in the level of development between regions in one country.
  • Local scale level: City centre / rich neighbourhoods and informal cities. People move from the countryside to the city = rural-urban migration.
  • 'Slum' has a negative connotation, just like 'Third world country'. We therefore use the word informal city (= poor neighbourhood in a city).
