As a nation transitions from a "developing economy" to a "developed economy," there is a rise in purchasing power and improvements in "human development." The information you should provide will include (but not limited to): the purchasing power parity of the nation. There are several measures (the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Co-Operation, the International Monetary Fund and even the Big Mac index, to name a few). Research several of the indexes to create a fuller picture as they will not all agree. Consider also the Human Development Index and the Quality of Life index and other similar indices. Include also the types of products the country is likely to import. What is the average per capita national income? What is the Purchasing Power Parity of the nation? Can they afford "consumerism?" Based on the overall quality of life, develop essays (one for each country... one per team member) that describe in detail the recent trends in development and consumerism. Include the literacy rates and the life expectancy of the countries. Cite your sources, including a list of hyperlinks at the end of the document
