Issues with interdependence: Inequalities
Online Lesson | 18 Nov 2026 | Start: 16:00 | DURATION: 1 HOUR Specification content
3.2.1.2 Global systems
Issues associated with interdependence including how unequal flows of people, money, ideas and technology within global systems can sometimes act to promote stability, growth and development but can also cause inequalities, conflicts and injustices for people and places.
Learning outcomes
This lesson will help students to understand:
- that unequal flows can result in inequalities both between countries and within countries.
- that globalisation can help to reduce inequalities between countries but can increase inequalities within countries.
- what the Gini Index is and how Lorenz Curves can be used to analyse economic inequalities within countries.-
