  • Australia has a HDI of 0.94, (out of 1) this is .3 better than India 

What data tells you about wellbeing 
  • Human wellbeing in Australia is very high this means Australia overall a very thriving and great country to live in, far better than India
  • Australia’s wellbeing far exceeds India, it’s better to live in Australia 

Factors
  • External . Legacy of history (was a colony of Britain and became its own country still sharing healthy ties and relations between the UK 

  • Internal. Political stability (low rates of corruption), as Australia is a democratic country our main values are fairness, respect, equality, fairness and freedom and we try to abide them and our constitution (our legal system also being impartial compared to india)

    -rise in demand for quality living standards are helped by a relatively small population (with a small population on a large land mass we have many commodities such as mining to our advantage)

    - Australia has very high levels of social interconnectedness and citizen participation in the community (this helps boots quality of life and overall wellbeing)


    -Australia being a very modern developed, and industrialised country creates opportunity for the population giving us better chances, resources and necessities than counties such as indai

  • India is ranked 67 out of 135 countries with a crime rate of 44.72 still moderately low 
  • This is 9 places higher ranked than Australia but the crime rates are pretty close (considering India’s extremely large population)

What data tells us about wellbeing 
  • That India is a relatively safe place like Australia their crime rates are almost similar considering that Australia is way less populated and more developed place
- although their overly populated country does have a higher crime rate which means it’s quality of living will be lower than Australia.


Factors 

  • (Internal) population growth-overpopulation can have significant affect to people socially and economically because demand of resources are high but a lack to keep up with demand causes shortages in resources (inequality in distribution of goods and services)
    - compounding issues- lack of government policy leads to lack in accessibility to essentials causing poverty and this means a high unemployment, more poor being unemployed are higher chance of a raise in crime rate
    - political instability (government corruption)

  • Australia is ranked 105 on the happy planet index with a HPI of 21.2 (one of the lowest ranked Developed countries)
  • That’s more the 50 rankings below India meaning Australia’s rank is very low and a very poor HPI even though it has a better wellbeing rating, higher life expectancy and lower percentage of inequality than India

What data tells you about Wellbeing 
  • Although Australia is a way more developed country and has a way higher quality wellbeing, the majority of people living here aren’t living sustainable and happy lives. (Of course this would be very different in 2021)
  • The huge issue with Australia HPI is that we have a very high carbon footprint 

Factors

  •  environmental costs of how the economy is running (internal)
    - mismanagement of natural resources 
    = Lack of Government action (Compounding Issues)

  • India is ranked 50 with a fairly average HPI of 29.2
        -   Far better than Australia in terms of HPI

What Data tells us about Wellbeing 

  • People in India are living more sustainable lives compared to Australia as they have a far lower ecological footprint since their county is not  as modernised and industrially advanced 

Factors 
  • Their lack in a industry focused economy (they aren’t a country that specialises in manufacturing or industry (internal) meaning they don’t burn fossil fuels and toxic gases as much as other countries do

- material deprivation from the basic things needed for a decent life, such as food, water, energy, sanitation, housing, learning, and health can degrade India HPI (Political instability lack in government funding causes this)

  • External :Legacy of history (fight for independence,)removal of non useful practices from the British and their invasion, their former part in the British colonies left India’s socioeconomic stand in a difficult place, compared to Australia’s
