Graph shows human development in regions around the world.
  • Dark green means high levels of human development (e.g. Canada)
  • Light green means low levels of human development (e.g. South Sudan)
What the data suggests about well-being:
  • Australia has high levels of human development, scoring 1, suggesting well-being is high
  • India has mid-range levels of human development, scoring 0.6, suggesting well-being is at mid-range/lower
  • More developed a country is = higher levels of well-being
Internal Factors:
  • Australia has better access to a good education than most countries
  • India’s funding is drained by their military due to the country’s political instability
External Factors:
  • Australia gains large earnings from exports
  • Threat of rising interest rates

Graph shows period life expectancy of countries across the globe.
  • Starting from dark red with low life expectancy, goes through the rainbow to purple with high life expectancy
What the data suggests about well-being:
  • Australia has a life expectancy over 85 years of age, suggesting well-being is high/higher
  • India has a life expectancy of approximately 70 years of age, suggesting well-being is high
  • The longer the life span expectancy in a country, the higher the levels of well-being
Internal Factors:
  • India has the second highest population in the world, & with such a large population, resources in the country are falling behind the amount of people they’re able to support
  • Government expenditure on health in 2019-2020 in Australia was estimated to be $81.8 billion
External Factors:
  • The Indo-Pakistani wars would’ve greatly affected the lives/life expectancies of both countries
  • Transnational companies like BP & Healthscope set up in Australia increase money flow in the country to help support lives

  • Commodity prices falling could decrease the country's money put to healthcare

Measures sustainable wellbeing & tells us how well nations are doing at achieving long, happy sustainable lives.
  • Given a score based on factors to do with well-being (the higher the score, the higher the levels of well-being)
  • Depending on score, given a ranking out of 140 nations
What the data suggests about well-being:
  • Australia was ranked 105th with a score of 21.2, suggesting it has very low levels of well-being
  • India was ranked 50th with a score of 29.2, suggesting it has low/mid-range levels of well-being
  • Australia was in the bottom 10 for ecological footprint although was in the top 10 for life expectancy, therefore greater the ecological footprint = longer life expectancy (because typically greater ecological footprints are caused by excessive sourcing of resources)
Internal Factors:
  • Crime rates (could lower life expectancy/cause greater inequality)
External Factors:
  • Demand for resources from other countries may cause excessive sourcing of these resources, leaving a bigger ecological footprint (e.g mines in Australia are sourced from for resources such as iron ores & coal)
