GapCast #6 - Chile a Developing Country?

[BastardSonOfGod]

I would say economically chile is already a developed country, the point where he says women with and without education is where I kinda don't know what to think, you see, for everything in chile you need to have a school degree certificate, otherwise you can't get a driver's license or a credit card and such things... so it's not like women don't go to school, no, the problem is the education itself in poorer sectors. I think chile is about to become developed by fixing their energy deficit.

[MrStephenwolf]

I am chilean. Let me say....i am agree with you. Now...unfortunatelly we still are a developing country. But your explanation of problem is really poor. Because, you had to say how much is the percent of woman with a low level of education inside the total women population. My mark for you: C

Chile is still a developing country because is in 14,700US$ per capita and HDI of 87%. To be a developed country it should be a country of at least 18,500US$ per capita and 90% of human development index or HDI. For 2015 Chile would be a develope country if grows over 6% per year. If grows under 4% will be in 2017. Cuba follows other system, not the capitalist way, so Cuba will continue being poor because communist system doesn't allow private invesment, but socially developed

@AZURA888 I think you missed the (clear) message of this video. We tend to think of "development" mainly from the economic point of view and oversee disparities within countries among different social groups. The economic "growth" you mention does not reach the whole population, and in this case has less to do with public health indicators, specially if we consider the non-latin blacks in Washington ;-)

Hello, I'm Chilean.

The man who speaks is mixing things, the right thing would be to measure in all countries as well (no previous study or racial inequality)

Still, good video.

Regards.

Excuse my bad english xD.

[makzkerochan]

The impact of the non educated population in the regions is extremly low. That means that the nummber of this people is also very low.

[oxvaldus]

We've made so much since 60's.!!!

But there's still a lot work to do.

Love Prof. Rosling speaks

Chile will be a developed country in years to come. Cuba will remain a developing country.

[sinekonata]

well actually, if you measure wealth and purchasing power development, yes cuba will remain a (slowly) developing country. But if you measure the child mortality, health care, education, life expectancy, crime rates, basic services (electricity, water, public transportation, phone,...) cuba is actually NOW among developed countries... The graph at 3:55 proves it regarding both infant mortality and fertility rate (proven to be proportional with social development).

[thepiratep]

actually Chile is already a developed country, Earthquakes and all, only a developed country could have handled an earthquake as big as the one that hit Chile.
