"When looking at a country," said Mohinder, from the front of the classroom. "A frequent indicator is their development. How advanced - whether economically, culturally or technologically. It can be something as straightforwardly derived as income, or less easily defined - the standard or quality of life of those living there."
He passed round a set of handouts, detailing some common indicators. "Of course, any single or even group of indiators can hide a variation in the population. Perhaps a rich country with an underclass without access to education."
"Wealth and more human development factors are always correlated," Mohinder said. "Take a look at these indicators, and - bearing in mind how the data might have been collected - I'd like you to find the ones you think the most important."
He leaned back against the wall, adding, "And why those, and how would they depict your home?"
