Population and D and H resources



Although you have now completed the population unit, there is no harm in 'revisiting' it from time to time. Here is a resource which focuses on ageing and ageing populations which you might like to explore. It is published by the Wellcome Trust, an independent charity which funds research into human health. Their publication on ageing contains two articles which are particularly relevant to the Higher course:






The second resource, which is more relevant to the work you are doing with Mrs W at present, comes from the same website as the 'Gapminder' scattergraphs which you have been exploring in the ICT suite this week.
This is an excellent presentation (you can download it to your computer at home) which explores many aspects of social and economic development around the world. Link directly to it by clicking on the 'start' button above.
