CF’s Voice: Hello future Business Economists and Leaders! Welcome to our course CBM
122 – Economic Development. Surely, by this time you are firm in your decision to pursue
your future career in Economics thus it is imperative to broaden your learning.

CO: To competently analyze the causes of underdevelopment among developing nations


(ULO 1), you have to be familiar with the various measures employed by economists to
determine whether a country is moving towards development.

LET’S PROCEED!

2. Crude birth rate The number of children born alive each year per 1,000 population.

3. Dependency burden The proportion of the total population aged 0 to 15 and 65+,
which is considered economically unproductive and therefore not counted in the

stagnation to growth and from low- income to high-income status, and overcome
problems of absolute poverty.

5. Development The process of improving the quality of all human lives and capabilities
by raising people’s levels of living, self-esteem, and freedom.

20. Traditional economics An approach to economics that emphasizes utility, profit


maximization, market efficiency, and determination of equilibrium.

The key words in this module include traditional economics, development economics,
development, poverty, developing country, income inequality.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE

To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcome) for the first three (3) weeks of
the course, you need to fully understand the following essential knowledge that will be laid
down in the succeeding pages. Please note that on top of the resources below, you are
expected to utilize other books, research articles and other resources that are available in
the university’s library e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com, others.

Using the e-book on Economic Development by Todaro and Smith, please read on Chapter
1, page 9 The Nature of Development Economics that will relate the difference between
traditional economics and economic development. Here, it expounds the more specific
areas that will be studied in economic development.

Is the study of Economics value-free? Do national decision makers design economic policies
by solely employing objective empirical analysis and devoid of normative value judgments?
You can explore on this in page 14.

“Because the term development may mean different things to different people, it is
important that we have some working definition or core perspective on its meaning.” as you
read in page 16. The authors have outlined two different ways of measuring development,
that is traditionally and the new view. Moreover, they continue to discuss the core values of
development with their corresponding objectives.

What is the role of women in the economic growth of a nation? Do they contribute anything
at all? Find it out in page 24.

In Chapter 2, you will be introduced to the ten (10) important features that developing
nations have in common with developed countries. The features are very well explained in
pages 57 to 73. These are:

1. Lower levels of living and productivity

2. Lower levels of human capital

3. Higher levels of inequality and absolute poverty

4. Higher population growth rates

5. Greater social fractionalization

6. Larger rural populations but rapid rural-to-urban migration

7. Lower levels of industrialization

8. Adverse geography

9. Underdeveloped financial and other markets

10. Lingering colonial impacts such as poor institutions and often external dependence.

Finally, this section ends with how developed nations were when they initially embarked on
development against the developing countries now. There are eight (8) significant
differences, which you can read in pages 73-80 as follows:

1. Physical and human resource endowments

2. Per capita incomes and levels of GDP in relation to the rest of the world

3. Climate

4. Population size, distribution, and growth

5. Historical role of international migration

6. International trade benefits

7. Basic scientific and technological research and development capabilities

8. Efficacy of domestic institutions

LET’S CHECK

1. Give the different ways of measuring development, in the traditional and in the new
way.

IN A NUTSHELL

Activity 1: Development of a nation has indeed evolved from the old basis of performance
in per capita income of a country to levels of living of people in terms of poverty,
employment, and equality in income distribution.

I have listed below lessons learned and arguments from this unit. You have to list your own
too.
1. Geography of the developing country contributes to its development. However, for
the authors Todaro and Smith to state that developing countries now are
“adversely’’ located in the globe thus development is slow. It makes me think that
simply because most developed nations are in the upper part of the equator does
not mean that developing nations are adversely located. In addition, these words
‘’adverse geography’’ connotes that God made a mistake in putting countries below
the equator.
2. Most colonizers are developed countries. The Philippines is one of those colonized
and our colonizers have surely left legacies to the populace where some of them can
be retained while others should be done away with. These legacies do affect how
we perform in the development policies of our republic.

MODULE 2 – VARIOUS THEORIES ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (Weeks 4 – 5)

Unit Learning Outcome: At the end of the unit, you are expected to:

1. Acquire extensive information and examine each economic development theories


from 1950s to the early 21st century.

CF’s Voice: In this second module of CBM 122 - Economic Development, you will be
introduced to different economic development theories that were utilized by developed
nations.

CO: Exploring the above theories will allow you to explain the extent which economic
theories may be helpful in designing development policies among developing nations (ULO
2).

LET’S PROCEED!

METALANGUAGE

This section relates to the more essential terms needed for you to understand this unit. To
demonstrate the ULO 2, you will refer to the following definitions should you have some
queries along the way.

1. Big push A concerted, economy-wide, and typically public policy–led effort to initiate
or accelerate economic development across a broad spectrum of new industries and
skills.

2. Center In dependence theory, the economically developed world.

3. Complementarity An action taken by one firm, worker, or organization that


increases the incentives for other agents to take similar actions. Complementarities
often involve investments whose return depends on other investments being made
by other agents.

4. Coordination failure A situation in which the inability of agents to coordinate their


behavior (choices) leads to an outcome (equilibrium) that leaves all agents worse off
than in an alternative situation that is also an equilibrium.

5. Dependence The reliance of developing countries on developed-country economic


policies to stimulate their own economic growth. Dependence can also mean that
the developing countries adopt developed-country education systems, technology,
economic and political systems, attitudes, consumption patterns, dress, and so on.

6. Dominance In international affairs, a situation in which the developed countries


have much greater power than the less developed countries in decisions affecting
important international economic issues, such as the prices of agricultural
commodities and raw materials in world markets.

7. Dualism The coexistence of two situations or phenomena (one desirable and the
other not) that are mutually exclusive to different groups of society—for example,
extreme poverty and affluence, modern and traditional economic sectors, growth
and stagnation, and higher education among a few amid large-scale illiteracy.

8. False-paradigm model The proposition that developing countries have failed to


develop because their development strategies (usually given to them by Western
economists) have been based on an incorrect model of development, one that, for
example, overstresses capital accumulation or market liberalization without giving
due consideration to needed social and institutional change.

9. Free markets The system whereby prices of commodities or services freely rise or
fall when the buyer’s demand for them rises or falls or the seller’s supply of them
decreases or increases.

10. Free-market analysis Theoretical analysis of the properties of an economic system


operating with free markets, often under the assumption that an unregulated
market performs better than one with government regulation.

11. Harrod-Domar growth model A functional economic relationship in which the


growth rate of gross domestic product (g) depends directly on the national net
savings rate (s) and inversely on the national capital-output ratio (c).

12. Lewis two-sector model A theory of development in which surplus labor from the
traditional agricultural sector is transferred to the modern industrial sector, the
growth of which absorbs the surplus labor, promotes industrialization, and
stimulates sustained development.

13. Market failure A market’s inability to deliver its theoretical benefits due to the
existence of market imperfections such as monopoly power, lack of factor mobility,
sig- nificant externalities, or lack of knowledge. Market failure often provides the
justification for government intervention to alter the working of the free market.

14. Market-friendly approach The notion historically promulgated by the World Bank
that successful development policy requires governments to create an environment
in which markets can operate efficiently and to intervene only selectively in the
economy in areas where the market is inefficient.

15. Multiple equilibria A condition in which more than one equilibrium exists. These
equilibria sometimes may be ranked, in the sense that one is preferred over another,
but the unaided market will not move the economy to the preferred outcome.

16. Neoclassical counterrevolution The 1980s resurgence of neoclassical free-market


orientation toward development problems and policies, counter to the
interventionist dependence revolution of the 1970s.

17. Neocolonial dependence model A model whose main proposition is that


underdevelopment exists in developing countries because of continuing exploitative
economic, political, and cultural policies of former colonial rulers toward less
developed countries.

18. O-ring model An economic model in which production functions exhibit strong
complementarities among inputs and which has broader implications for
impediments to achieving economic development.

19. Patterns-of-development analysis An attempt to identify characteristic features of


the internal process of structural transformation that a “typical” developing
economy undergoes as it generates and sustains modern economic growth and
development.

20. Periphery In dependence theory, the developing countries.

21. Public-choice theory (new political economy approach) The theory that self-interest
guides all individual behavior and that governments are inefficient and corrupt
because people use government to pursue their own agendas.

22. The term self-discovery somewhat whimsically expresses the assumption that the
products in question have already been discovered by someone else (either long
ago, or recently in a developed economy); what remains to be discovered is which of
these products a local economy is relatively good at making.

23. Stages-of-growth model of development A theory of economic development,


associated with the American economic historian Walt W. Rostow, according to
which a country passes through sequential stages in achieving development.

24. Structural transformation The process of transforming an economy in such a way


that the contribution to national income by the manufacturing sector eventually
surpasses the contribution by the agricultural sector. More generally, there is a
major alteration in the industrial composition of any economy.

25. Structural-change theory The hypothesis that underdevelopment is due to under-


utilization of resources arising from structural or institutional factors that have their
origins in both domestic and international dualism. Development therefore requires
more than just accelerated capital formation.

26. Surplus labor The excess supply of labor over and above the quantity demanded at
the going free-market wage rate. In the Lewis two-sector model of economic
development, surplus labor refers to the portion of the rural labor force whose
marginal productivity is zero or negative.

27. Underdevelopment An economic situation characterized by persistent low levels of


living in conjunction with absolute poverty, low income per capita, low rates of
economic growth, low consumption levels, poor health services, high death rates,
high birth rates, dependence on foreign economies, and limited freedom to choose
among activities that satisfy human wants.

The key words in this module include Rostow’s stages of growth, Harrod-Domar model,
Lewis two-sector model, Patterns of Development, the Neocolonial dependence model, the
False-paradigm model, the Dualistic-development thesis, the Free-market approach, the
Public-choice approach, the Market-friendly approach, the Multiple equilibria, the Theory of
big push and the O-ring theory.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE

To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcome) for the next two (2) weeks of
the course, you need to fully understand the following essential knowledge that will be laid
down in the succeeding pages. Please note that on top of the resources below, you are
expected to utilize other books, research articles and other resources that are available in
the university’s library e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com, others.

In Chapter 3 pages 120-121, you will read the Linear Stages of Growth models by Walt W.
Rostow and duo economists British Roy F. Harrod/ American Evesey Domar more popularly
known as Harrod-Domar growth models. Rostow detailed his stages of growth that all
countries must go through. Harrod-Domar, on the other hand related the importance of
savings and investment to propel economic growth.

Structural change models that you will find in pages 124 and 129 have two notable theories

by W. Arthur Lewis and Hollis B. Chenery and his coauthors. Lewis had his two-sector
surplus model where the labor of the agriculture sector transferred and were employed in
the urban sector. Chenery and coauthors studied postwar patterns of development of
several countries and their empirical work identified different features common among the
countries.

1970 saw the emergence of International Dependence models since “developing countries
are beset by institutional, political, and economic rigidities, both domestic and international,
and caught up in a dependence and dominance relationship with rich countries”. Major
streams of thought are the neocolonial dependence model, the false-paradigm model, and
the dualistic-development thesis that you will find in pages 131 and 133.

Ten years after, the Neoclassical Counterrevolution surfaced where economists argued that
“underdevelopment resulted from poor resource allocation due to incorrect pricing policies
and too much state intervention by overly active developing-nation governments”. You will
read in pages 135-137 the three (3) approaches being, the free-market approach, the public-
choice approach, and the market-friendly approach.

Finally, you will read some new models of economic development as influenced by
complementarities and coordination failures under pages 165, 168, 174 and 187. You will
dip into the multiple equilibria, the theory of big push and the O-ring theory. To cap this unit
is the topic on economic development as self-discovery on page 192.

IN A NUTSHELL

All discussed economic development theories from the 1950s to the early part of the 21 st
century offered a broad range of experience that developing nations could explore,
scrutinize and probably redesign to their particular state of affairs.

I have listed below lessons learned and arguments from this unit. You have to list your own
too.
1. Due to the earlier notions of development that a country is considered developed
when it is industrialized, so many agricultural lands and efforts have been put aside
and neglected. People in the rural sector has this contorted concept to this day thus
governments have much work to do to erase the same. They have to restore the
“glory” of the agricultural sector.

2. Can the Philippines really be out of the shadow of its colonizers especially the US? It
is of everyone’s knowledge of the Filipinos’ colonial mentality where imported goods,
expatriates, foreign-schooled Filipinos are more looked up to than their local
counterparts.

Contact and Non-contact Hours This 3-unit course self-instructional manual is designed
for blended learning mode of instructional delivery with
scheduled face-to-face or virtual sessions. The
expected number of hours will be 54 including the face-
to-face or virtual sessions. The face-to-face sessions
shall include the summative assessment tasks or
exams.
Assessment Task Submission Submission of assessment tasks shall be on 3rd, 5th, 7th
and 9th week of the term and emailed to the course
coordinator indicating the:
- name of the student (SURNAME first please)
- class hour
- assessment task module number
- date of submission
You are expected to have already paid your tuition and
other fees before the submission of the assessment
task.

If the assessment task is done in real time through the


features in the Blackboard Learning Management
System, the schedule shall be arranged ahead of time
by the course coordinator.

3
You are required to take the Multiple Choice Question
exam inside the University and this is non-negotiable.
This should be scheduled ahead of time by the course
coordinator.

Turnitin Submission To ensure honesty and authenticity, all assessment


(if necessary) tasks are required to be submitted through Turnitin
with a maximum similarity index allowance of 30%.
This means that if the paper goes beyond 30%, you will
either opt to redo the paper or explain in writing
addressed to the course coordinator the reasons for
the similarity. In addition, if the paper has reached
more than 30% similarity index, you may be called for a
disciplinary action in accordance with the University’s
OPM on Intellectual and Academic Honesty.

Please note that academic dishonesty such as cheating


and commissioning other students or people to
complete the task for you will be penalized ranging from
reprimand, warning, expulsion.

Penalties for Late The score for an assessment task submitted after the
Assignments/Assessments designated time or the due date, without an approved
extension of time, will be reduced by 50% of the
possible maximum score for said assessment.

However, if the late submission of assessment paper


has a valid reason, a letter of explanation should be
submitted and approved by the course coordinator. If
necessary, you will also be required to present/attach
evidences.

Return of Assignments/ Assessment tasks will be returned to you two (2) weeks
Assessments after the submission. This will be returned by email or
via Blackboard portal.

For group assessment tasks, the course coordinator will


require some or few of the students for online or virtual
sessions to ask clarificatory questions to validate the
originality of the assessment task submitted and to
ensure that all the group members are involved.
Assignment Resubmission You should request in writing addressed to the course
coordinator your intention to resubmit an assessment
task. The resubmission is premised on the student’s
failure to comply with the similarity index and other
reasonable grounds such as academic literacy

4
standards or other reasonable circumstances like
illness, accidents, financial constraints.
Re-marking of Assessment You should request in writing addressed to the course
Papers and Appeal coordinator your intention to appeal or contest the score
given to an assessment task. The letter should explicitly
explain the reasons/points to contest the grade. The
course coordinator shall communicate with you on the
approval or disapproval of the request.

If the request is disapproved, you can elevate your


case to the program head or the dean with the original
letter of request. The final decision will come from the
dean of the college.

MODULE 3 – MEASURING INCOME INEQUALITY AND ABSOLUTE POVERTY (Weeks 6– 7)

Unit Learning Outcome: At the end of the unit, you are expected to:

1. Measure inequality in income distribution and poverty through the


a. personal or size distribution of income
b. Lorenz curves
c. Kuznets’ ratio
d. Gini coefficient

2. Analyze the different areas of intervention to address poverty and income inequality

CF’s Voice: In this third module of CBM 122 - Economic Development, you will do some
simple computations to be able to analyze the inequality that exist among income earners.
The authors also recommend several interventions to resolve the issues tackled.

CO: This module connects with Module 2 as the measurements by computation will
further allow you to realize ULO 3, that is to explain the extent which economic theories may
be helpful in designing development policies among developing nations.

LET’S PROCEED!

METALANGUAGE

This section relates to the more essential terms needed for you to understand this unit. To
demonstrate the ULO 3, you will refer to the following definitions should you have some
queries along the way.

1. Absolute poverty The situation of being unable or only barely able to meet the
subsistence essentials of food, clothing, and shelter.

2. Asset ownership The ownership of land, physical capital (factories, buildings,


machinery, etc.), human capital, and financial resources that generate income for
owners.

3. Decile A 10% portion of any numerical quantity; a population divided into deciles
would be divided into ten equal numerical groups.

4. Disposable income The income that is available to households for spending and saving
after personal income taxes have been deducted.

5. Factors of production Resources or inputs required to produce a good or a service,


such as land, labor, and capital.

6. Functional distribution of income (factor share distribution of income) The


distribution of income to factors of production without regard to the ownership of the
factors.

7. Gini coefficient An aggregate numerical measure of income inequality ranging from 0


(perfect equality) to 1 (perfect inequality). It is measured graphically by dividing the
area between the perfect equality line and the Lorenz curve by the total area lying to
the right of the equality line in a Lorenz diagram. The higher the value of the coefficient
is, the higher the inequality of income distribution; the lower it is, the more equal the
distribution of income.

8. Income inequality The disproportionate distribution of total national income among


households.

9. Indirect taxes Taxes levied on goods ultimately purchased by consumers, including


customs duties (tariffs), excise duties, sales taxes, and export duties.

10. Kuznets curve A graph reflecting the relationship between a country’s income per
capita and its inequality of income distribution.

11. Land reform A deliberate attempt to reorganize and transform existing agrarian
systems with the intention of improving the distribution of agricultural incomes and
thus fostering rural development.

12. Lorenz curve A graph depicting the variance of the size distribution of income from
perfect equality.

13. Personal distribution of income (size distribution of income) The distribution of


income according to size class of persons—for example, the share of total income
accruing to the poorest specific percentage or the richest specific percentage of a
population— without regard to the sources of that income.

14. Progressive income tax A tax whose rate increases with increasing personal incomes.

15. Public consumption All current expenditures for purchases of goods and services by
all levels of government, including capital expenditures on national defense and
security.

16. Quintile A 20% proportion of any numerical quantity. A population divided into quin-
tiles would be divided into five groups of equal size.

17. Redistribution policies Policies geared to reducing income inequality and expanding
economic opportunities in order to promote development, including income tax
policies, rural development policies, and publicly financed services.

18. Regressive tax A tax structure in which the ratio of taxes to income tends to decrease
as income increases.

19. Subsidy A payment by the government to producers or distributors in an industry to


prevent the decline of that industry, to reduce the prices of its products, or to
encourage hiring.

The key words in this module include absolute poverty, income inequaity, personal or size
distribution of income, functional or factor share distribution of income, quintile, decile,
Kuznets ratio, Lorenz curve, Gini coefficient.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE

To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcome) for the next two (2) weeks of the
course, you need to fully understand the following essential knowledge that will be laid down
in the succeeding pages. Please note that on top of the resources below, you are expected to
utilize other books, research articles and other resources that are available in the university’s
library e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com, others.

During the first weeks of the course, we mentioned that economic development of nations are
now measured on three more specific venues, that is in terms of levels of employment,
equality in income distribution and level of poverty. An individual may be employed and yet
the question is how much income or salary or wage does he receive. How does this salary
compare with other individuals? In Chapter 5, there are two methods used in measuring
income equality or inequality: the personal or size distribution of income and the functional
or distributive factor share distribution of income. You will pursue the measurement of
income inequality specifically through the personal or size distribution of income using the
quintiles, deciles and Kuznets ratio. We will proceed to other measures of poverty and income
inequality with the Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients.

When is an individual or a nation considered to be or has a percentage of their population


under absolute poverty level? You can read and understand more on this in page 226.

Under Module 2, you were introduced to Lewis’ two-sector model made up of the rural sector
and the modern sector. In page 232, the authors inject three typologies where the sectors
develop at the same time and the Lorenz curves shift respectively.

In conclusion, “developing countries that aim to reduce poverty and excessive inequalities in
their distribution of income need to know how best to achieve their aim thus four broad areas
of possible government policy intervention are identified”. You will read this in pages 256-
262.

LET’S CHECK

1. Contrast personal or size distribution of income from the functional or distributive factor
share distribution of income.

IN A NUTSHELL

All developing nations will endeavor to eliminate poverty, reduce wide income inequality and
keep down unemployment level.

I have listed below lessons learned and arguments from this unit. You have to list your own
too.
1. How so evident the income disparity that prevails in our country. We know of Filipinos
who are “filthy” rich belonging in the highest strata of the society and has no worry of
the issues discussed. On the other hand, we have the “isang kahig, isang tuka”
Filipinos who neither have a roof under their heads nor three square meals a day nor
a stable work or just simply a permanent daily work.

2. A classical notion among university graduates and even parents that upon graduation,
working means being employed. Unable to get hired, the graduate is now an addition
to the unemployed circle. There is another option and we have to push this to be the
“new normal” and that is to explore the entrepreneurial direction of the graduates.

Contact and Non-contact Hours This 3-unit course self-instructional manual is designed
for blended learning mode of instructional delivery with
scheduled face-to-face or virtual sessions. The
expected number of hours will be 54 including the face-
to-face or virtual sessions. The face-to-face sessions
shall include the summative assessment tasks or
exams.
Assessment Task Submission Submission of assessment tasks shall be on 3rd, 5th, 7th
and 9th week of the term and emailed to the course
coordinator indicating the:
- name of the student (SURNAME first please)
- class hour
- assessment task module number
- date of submission
You are expected to have already paid your tuition and
other fees before the submission of the assessment
task.

If the assessment task is done in real time through the


features in the Blackboard Learning Management
System, the schedule shall be arranged ahead of time
by the course coordinator.

3
You are required to take the Multiple Choice Question
exam inside the University and this is non-negotiable.
This should be scheduled ahead of time by the course
coordinator.

Turnitin Submission To ensure honesty and authenticity, all assessment


(if necessary) tasks are required to be submitted through Turnitin
with a maximum similarity index allowance of 30%.
This means that if the paper goes beyond 30%, you will
either opt to redo the paper or explain in writing
addressed to the course coordinator the reasons for
the similarity. In addition, if the paper has reached
more than 30% similarity index, you may be called for a
disciplinary action in accordance with the University’s
OPM on Intellectual and Academic Honesty.

Please note that academic dishonesty such as cheating


and commissioning other students or people to
complete the task for you will be penalized ranging from
reprimand, warning, expulsion.

Penalties for Late The score for an assessment task submitted after the
Assignments/Assessments designated time or the due date, without an approved
extension of time, will be reduced by 50% of the
possible maximum score for said assessment.

However, if the late submission of assessment paper


has a valid reason, a letter of explanation should be
submitted and approved by the course coordinator. If
necessary, you will also be required to present/attach
evidences.

Return of Assignments/ Assessment tasks will be returned to you two (2) weeks
Assessments after the submission. This will be returned by email or
via Blackboard portal.

For group assessment tasks, the course coordinator will


require some or few of the students for online or virtual
sessions to ask clarificatory questions to validate the
originality of the assessment task submitted and to
ensure that all the group members are involved.
Assignment Resubmission You should request in writing addressed to the course
coordinator your intention to resubmit an assessment
task. The resubmission is premised on the student’s
failure to comply with the similarity index and other
reasonable grounds such as academic literacy

4
standards or other reasonable circumstances like
illness, accidents, financial constraints.
Re-marking of Assessment You should request in writing addressed to the course
Papers and Appeal coordinator your intention to appeal or contest the score
given to an assessment task. The letter should explicitly
explain the reasons/points to contest the grade. The
course coordinator shall communicate with you on the
approval or disapproval of the request.

If the request is disapproved, you can elevate your


case to the program head or the dean with the original
letter of request. The final decision will come from the
dean of the college.

Grading System All culled from BlackBoard sessions and traditional


contact
Course discussions/exercises – 30%
1st formative assessment – 10%
2nd formative assessment – 10%
3rd formative assessment – 10%

All culled from on-campus/onsite sessions (TBA):


Final exam – 40%

Submission of the final grades shall follow the usual


University system and procedures.

MODULE 4 – ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT and POPULATION, URBANIZATION, HUMAN


CAPITAL, AGRICULTURE, ENVIRONMENT, INTERNATIONAL TRADE (Weeks 8– 9)

Unit Learning Outcome: At the end of the unit, you are expected to:

1. Evaluate how economic development is influenced by a developing country’s:


a. Population
b. Urbanization
c. Human capital
d. Agriculture
e. Environment
f. International trade

CF’s Voice: This is the last module of CBM 122 - Economic Development. There are
diverse sectors of a developing country that are identified so you can undertake an in-depth
diagnosis as said sectors are affected by or affect economic development.

CO: As discussion of the sectors progresses, ULO 4 will be achieved.

LET’S PROCEED!

METALANGUAGE

This section relates to the more essential terms needed for you to understand this unit. To
demonstrate the ULO 4, you will refer to the following definitions should you have some
queries along the way.

1. Crude birth rate The number of children born alive each year per 1,000 population
(often shortened to birth rate).

2. Death rate The number of deaths each year per 1,000 population.

3. Dependency burden The proportion of the total population aged 0 to 15 and 65+,
which is considered economically unproductive and therefore not counted in the
labor force.

4. Export dependence A country’s reliance on exports as the major source of financing


for development activities.

5. Globalization The increasing integration of national economies into expanding


international markets.

6. Human capital Productive investments embodied in human persons, including skills,


abilities, ideals, health, and locations, often resulting from expenditures on
education, on-the-job training programs, and medical care.

7. Land reform A deliberate attempt to reorganize and transform agrarian systems with
the intention of fostering a more equal distribution of agricultural incomes and facil-
itating rural development.

8. Life expectancy at birth The number of years a newborn child would live if subjected
to the mortality risks prevailing for the population at the time of the child’s birth.

9. Literacy The ability to read and write.

10. Natural increase The difference between the birth rate and the death rate of a given
population.

11. Net international migration The excess of persons migrating into a country over
those who emigrate from that country.

12. Primary products Products derived from all extractive occupations—farming, lum-
bering, fishing, mining, and quarrying, foodstuffs, and raw materials.

13. Rate of population increase The growth rate of a population, calculated as the
natural increase after adjusting for immigration and emigration.

14. Total fertility rate (TFR) The number of children that would be born to a woman if
she were to live to the end of her childbearing years and bear children in accordance
with the prevailing age-specific fertility rates.

15. Under-5 mortality rate Deaths among children between birth and 5 years of age per
1,000 live births.

16. Youth dependency ratio The proportion of young people under age 15 to the
working population aged 16 to 64 in a country.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE

“United Nations Population Division projected that population would rise to about 8.1
billion in 2025 and reach about 9.6 billion by the year 2050”. Per Worldometer, as of today,
May 6, 2020, world population stands at 7.8B ++. What will contribute to these projected
population increase? From pages 287-291, you will appreciate the structure of world’s
population by geographic region, by fertility and mortality rates and by age structures. You
will have your first case study on page 321 entitled “Population, poverty and development:
China and India.

“While the world as a whole became majority urban in 2009, even the developing world is
expected to become majority urban before 2020. Currently, most urban growth has
occurred in cities in Asia and Africa. There will be so much rural-to-urban migration in Asia
that its rural population will actually decline…” It’s a consensus among economists that
urbanization is inevitable as countries develop thus in pages 365-368, the authors
enumerate ten (10) strategies to employ for the urbanization, migration and employment
scenarios among nations. Your second case study on page 369 is Rural-urban migration and
urbanization in developing countries: India and Botswana.

“Health is central to well-being, and education is essential for a satisfying and rewarding
life… Both can be seen as vital components of growth and development.” You will broaden
your viewpoint on these two issues in pages 384-388. In addition, you will keep going and
read about child labor in page 391. Your Case 3, page 425 is Pathways out of poverty:
progresa/oportunidades in Mexico.

“Over 3.1 billion people lived in rural areas in developing countries in 2013, about a quarter
of them in extreme poverty. In sub-Saharan Africa, rural dwellers constitute 64% of the total
population; in South Asia, some 69% of the population live in rural areas as of 2011, with the
result that more than half the workforce is concentrated in agriculture. Countries whose
population is more than 80% rural include Ethiopia, Nepal, Niger, Papua New Guinea,
Rwanda, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, and Uganda. India remains more than two-thirds rural.”
Agriculture cannot be continuously neglected and sidelined since its development is
believed to be sine qua non to national development. The plan of action in pages 471-476
for agricultural development will be in the improvement of small-scale agriculture, provision
of the necessary economic incentives through institutional and pricing policies, and adopt
the land reform program. Before you finally leave this topic, you will scrutinize the beneficial
role of women in agriculture that you will find in pages 458-461. Case 4 is The need to
improve agricultural extension for women farmers: Kenya at page 477.

“Environmental quality strongly affects, and is affected by, economic development. An


ancient Chinese proverb states each generation shall reap what the former generation has
sown.” The discussion will revolve around urban development and the environment in pages
518-522. Case 5 in page 532 is A world of contrast on one island: Haiti and the Dominican
Republic.

You have reached International Trade, the final topic of the module and of the course.
Countries have gone more integrated with one another that have expanded international
trade to greater lengths. In page 601, you will peruse the benefits and losses of globalization
and carry on with your reading to the key issues in international trade. The last case study is
A pioneer in development success through trade: Taiwan found in page 663.

IN A NUTSHELL

More specific topics on population, agriculture, international trade, urbanization,


environment and human capital have been discussed to give you a glimpse of how they
affect or get affected by economic development.

I have listed below lessons learned and arguments from this unit. You have to list your own
too.
1. Agriculture is the backbone of any country that genuinely yearns economic growth. It
must be developed to its fullest, well funded by the government and not sidelined by
urban development.

2. Population has more positive effects to economic growth since it is the fuel to fire up
dynamic and robust economic activity. Developed countries due to their negative
birth rates propel the ill effects. They see that developing countries seem to be
dependent on them as the concept of dependency burden applies.
