TRENDS AND ISSUES
CANADA – By law all Canadians to complete.
Why???
- Major = 10 yrs (yrs.ending in 1)
- Minor = 5 yrs (ending in 6)
DECIPHERING DATA
- Developed vs Developing Countries
- Calcutta vs Vancouver
Calcutta
CALCULATING POPULATION CHANGE
- Four basic components
- birth rate, death rate, immigration rate, emmigration rate
- Natural Increase = Birth Rate – Death Rate
- used to compare dev. vs developing countries
- Exponential Growth
- Doubling Time = 70 % of Natural Increase
- Net Migration = Immig. – Emmig.
- Population Growth Rate =
Natural Increase + Net migration

THE VULNERABLE ONES
CHILDREN
THE POSITION OF WOMEN
-Male domination – legal rights
- Famine, disease, war, sanitation
-Honour Killings
- Family obligations – men search for work.
- Low literacy – Men only ed.
- Ed. Is the Solution – Low BR & IMR
- Polygamy
- No ed.
- U5MR (13 x more likely to die)
- Ethnic cleansing, land mines, soldiers
- Child labour, begging, stealing.
- Working Conditions
- Bonded Labour – Family Debts
THE HEALTH CRISIS
-LACK OF CLEAN WATER
-WHO = 1.2 Billion = no water.
-Clean water & sanitation = cure 10 % of disease
- EPEDEMICS
-Malaria – on the rise (1 Million/yr.)
- HIV/AIDS – (33 Million world wide; 2 Million died per Year) (See next slide)

HELPING TO IMPROVE

FOREIGN AID
1.

3.
4.
OFFICIAL DEV’T ASSISTANCE (ODA)
- Aid by Gov’ts
NON-GOV’T ORGANIZATIONS
- Churches, Rotary, Oxfam, Red Cross
MULTILATERAL AID
- Aid from a # of Gov’ts.
- Usually big projects (Damns)
BILATERAL AID
- From one country to another
- Often = strings attached
Tied Aid (‘Buy Canadian’)
CAN. FOREIGN AID
CIDA Goals – water, infrastructure,
women’s poverty, rights, jobs,
& environment.
- Partnerships
Criticisms - 80% of funds on 20
priority countries (Africa???)
CANADA’S 20 PRIORITY COUNTRIES
FACTS TO PONDER– World military = $1.5 Trillion / All Dev’t Goals= $143 Billion.
- UN target = .7 % of GNP / Canada = .32% GNP
- Dictators have leached Aid from the poor – NGOs working to end abuse.
- small local projects have helped leaching – water pumps to rural areas
LINKING AID TO HUMAN RIGHTS
Many of those in need often live under regimes
that abuse human rights.
THE CASE FOR DENYING AID
-Gov’ts must change ways first.
- deny aid when human rights are violated
- will aid get to those in need? Army??
- Human rights are key in Canada, must
Also be key to aid
THE CASE FOR GIVING AID
-Different cultures = different rights;
Who are we to judge?
Women’s rights vary from
culture to culture.
- Good causes should not be confused
with rights.
-Poverty = breeding ground for violations.
The Allocation
Problem
1. Who does each represent?
2. Is there enough food for both?
3. What happens to the food
production in Africa?
(Cash Crops)
4. How would you break the
hunger cycle?
MATH PROBLEM
If the world produces 12,500KJ/
person of food daily and 10,000KJ/
person is needed, is there a food
shortage?
Yes/ No
