Two web sites that are well worth looking at are
http://hdr.undp.org/en/data/trends/
http://www.gapminder.org/
They give lots of data and information to help in this section of work.
To those of you stuck at home in the snow we have looked at the undp web site above and discussed indicators and the HDI index. Look at your past papers to get a feel for the type of questions on indicators. Finish Brazil notes and the differences between countries nad be sure you knwo examples of economic adn social indicators. You could even try a question and email it to me - check your inbox later today as I will try and send an email.
See you next week ( hopefully !!)
