The purpose of this project is to develop your research and analysis skills while at the same time being really clever in choosing three pairs of indicators which you think can best test how developed certain countries are.
Step 1.
You must choose 15 countries for analysis. On a world Map locate these countries and they must show a good spread between regions and the Brandt line.

Step 2.
You must now choose three hypothesis which you will use to investigate how developed your countries are relative to each other.t
VWO students must choose high order hypothesis.
Hypothesis:
It is expected that countries with a low agricultural output will have a lower life expectancy.
It is expected that the higher the death rates, the higher spending on healthcare.
It is expected that the higher a country's GDP, the higher the enrollment in secondary school.
Step 3.
Research:
Using the World Bank website and the CIA factbook you must now create a table showing your findings for your chosen indicators.
Caution: Make sure that there is adequate info available for your chosen countries.
