 * Economic Development **

**Now turn to pages 362-3 in your textbooks and make notes on the reasons for low economic development.**
=**Homework: Exercise 3 P367 Textbook**.=

What are the different strategies that are pursued to alleviate poverty?
==Group work: Go back to your notes on causes of low development and identify policies that would get rid of these and therefore lead to economic growth and development. Some possible topic headings are:==
 * **Education and training **
 * **Corruption (how does this reduce growth and development?) **
 * **Gender equality (Improved access to education and jobs for women) **
 * **Political Stability (Think of civil war and how this effects growth and development) **
 * **Investment and Technology. **
 * **Infrastructure. **

==**Remember that economic growth can reduce poverty and lead to economic development but economic growth does not guarantee economic development particularly if the increased income simply goes to making the rich richer.**==

**Population**
