UNIT 4: Economy – Population and work

Learning Objectives :1 To understand the different ways of payment through

history

Y3 GEOGRAPHY Session 3

2 To revise barter

Starter: observe the history of payment, p.39, choose

one of them, write a full definition for it and give an

example of a payment situation

Now you… Should rich people pay

more taxes? Write your points

Group A (in favour):

• e.g. The state would use

tax money to distribute

wealth more equitably

Group B (against):

• Poorer people should

work harder.

• They would createamong population.

• Richest people can

afford to make a larger

contribution.

• Poorer people need

more aid and services.

• They would create

more jobs.

• The richest people

should enjoy all the

benefits of their hard

work.

• Less motivation to

work.

UNIT 4: Economy – Population and work

Aims :1 To understand how the population participates in

economy through its work

Y3 GEOGRAPHY Session 5_6

Agents of the economy

• People: they produce and consume goods and services

• Companies: produce and distribute goods and

• The State:

– Regulates the economy

– Helps the private sector (subsidies and aid)

– Create companies in distribute goods and services in factories orother businesses (e.g.stationers) for a profit

– Create companies in strategic and troubledsectors (petrol stations, nuclear stations)

– Provide public services(national health, security)

Now you…

1. Define subsidy and profit.

2. Who are considered economic agents? How

do they participate in economic activity?

3. Explain the difference between public and 3. Explain the difference between public and

private companies.

4. Give three examples of public services.

population and labour? Add examples

• Active population: people over 16 years old

– Employed: active population who have a job.

– Unemployed: active population who haven’t got a – Unemployed: active population who haven’t got a

job but are looking for it.

• Inactive population: people younger or over 16 years

old who aren’t employed or unemployed

UNIT 4: Primary Sector

Learning objectives :1 To identify the economic systems in the world

Y3 GEOGRAPHY Session 3

Starter:

Economic systems(Did you know? p.65)

• Subsistence economy• Communist system• Capitalist or market economyeconomy• Mixed economy

1. Subsistence systems

• Family produce what they need• Cultivate their own food• Make their own clothes• Small or no surplus: street market• Small or no surplus: street market• LEDCs

2. Communist systems

• Planning economy: everything is planned by the state

• State owns companies• States decide how much to • States decide how much to

produce, what price and what to do with profits

• Cuba, North Korea, ex-Soviet Union

• China: transition from communist to market economy

3. Capitalist or market economy• Private property of factories, companies (e.g. Microsoft,

Renault,…• Reinvestment of profit: ‘engine’ of capitalism• Law of supply and demand (next slide)

↓ • Regulates the price• Regulates the price• Free competition: anyone can set a company (protection by

the constitution, laws…)• Different situations that can happen in a capitalist system:

– Monopoly: one company controls the production and sale of a product (Microsoft-Windows)

– Oligopoly: a few companies control the production and sale of a product (e.g. OPEC)

Law of supply and demand

Supply • One bakery

• 3 bakeries

4. Mixed economy

• State and market organize the economy• Welfare state: the state intervenes in

economy• The state rule the economic system (e.g. • The state rule the economic system (e.g.

welfare state): what to produce, how to produce, where to sell

• The market determines prices according to the law of supply and demand

• Spain: welfare state + market economy(private property)

settlement

Y3 GEOGRAPHY Session 4

2 To identify the types of farming (p.69)

Starter: what’s the difference between these photos? (use the info on p.69)

Distribution of rural settlements

• Dispersed settlement

Agricultural holdings : units of rural production

• Open-fields (e.g….)• Closed fields (enclosures)

Human influence on the agrarian landscape (p.68)

• Nucleated settlement• Closed fields (enclosures)

(e.g….)• One holding = one or more

plots– Small plot: < 1Hect– Medium: 1-10 Hect– Large: > 10 Hect

Intensive and Extensive Farming (p.69)

Intensive farming:• small area of land (or

a small area for livestock or agric)

• massive inputs of

Extensive farming:• farms are large• small inputs• low outputs• massive inputs of

capital and labour• very high outputs

• low outputs

Types of watering systemIrrigation crops : • need a lot of water• through irrigation

channels (e.g. monsoon cultivation in China)

• Flooding

Rainfed crops :• need little water• Supplemented with

modern techniques when necessary

• Flooding• Sprinkling

UNIT 4: Primary Sector

Learning objective :1 To compare farming in MEDC and LEDC

Y3 GEOGRAPHY Session 6

Starter: brainstorming on the blackboard

Farming in MEDCs, p.70

• Rural revolution: 18th cent England↓took to

• Change from subsistence to commercial farming• Large investments → to obtain maximum profit• Specialization: one/two products per farm• Mechanisation: reduces labour• Modern farming methods:• Modern farming methods:

– Use of pesticides and fertilisers → air and water pollution– High-yield seeds (high productivity)– Greenhouses, artificial soils– New irrigation systems– Genetically modified (GM) crops– Fertilisers in water can cause → rapid algae growth

(eutrophocation)• Subsidies (from the EU)• (see table p.71 Benefits-Problems ofcommercial farming; state best/worst)

Practice your learning:

• Read the text on ‘organic farming’ onInternet and mention the advantages and disadvantages of this type of agriculture:

• https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/organic-food

• Answer q.4 on p.71 and suggest solutionstaking into account also problems.

Farming in LEDCs, p.72

• Agriculture: main source of employment

• Subsistence agriculture: familiar business

• Polyculture: – small plots of land– several crops at the same farm (to – several crops at the same farm (to

ensure food)• Primitive farming techniques:

manual labour → low productivity• Strong dependence on physical

factors• Dependence on large companies

plantations (globalization)

Farming in LEDC, Types of agriculture p.72

1. Shifting cultivation:• Trees cut down and

burnt as fertiliser• Main crops: cereal,

tubers• Soil soon unfertile,

farmers move to another

2. Sedentary rainfed cultivation

• Triennial rotation• Main crops: cereal, nuts,

tubers• Savannah regions3. Irrigated monsoon farmers move to another

area• Africa, South America,

SW Asia

3. Irrigated monsoon cultivation:

• Extensive flooding• Main crops: rice• Small plots of land with

many workers• Eastern China, SE Asia

coast of India

Farming in LEDC, Plantation agriculture p.73

• Form of commercial agriculture• Origin: 16th-19th cent• Currently growing due to globalization:

– Plantations controlled by multinational corporations or their local producers (clients)

– Good transport network– Good transport network– Cheap labour– Modern machinery and techniques

• Main crops: cocoa, coffee, cotton, tea, rubber• High productivity, monoculture for export• Tropical LEDC: Africa, Central and South

America, India, SE Asia

Farming in LEDCs

• The Green Revolution (1930Green Revolution (1930--60s): 60s): – strategy to help farmers to become self-sufficient and allow them to make a profit– introduction of highyield varieties of grains– introduction of highyield varieties of grains– use of pesticides, and improved management

techniques.– introduce irrigation systems to increased

agricultural productivity– Partially financed with low interest loans from

the UN (FAO, IMF, World Bank)

Livestock farming and fishing

• You have a livestock farm and have todecide the most effective way to exploit it. List the elements that will help you fromp.74.p.74.

• What are the environmental problems thattrawling, coastal fishing, inshore fishingand off shore fishing may carry out. P.75

UNIT 4: Primary Sector

Learning objective :1To recognize the weaknesses and strenghts of farming in

Spain

Y3 GEOGRAPHY Session 7

Starter: study table p.76, suggest solutions for the

weaknesses and ways to improve the strengths

Primary Sector in Spain• The main types of farming:

– Arable– Pastoral (sheep, goats, cows)– Mixed: hill & plateau cattle and arable

farming– All of them are commercial.

• The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP at • The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP at the EU) and other regulations have encouraged:– arable farming more than pastoral or hill

sheep farming– As a consequence, many farms became

mixed farms.• Most farming in Spain tends to be

intensive

Aquaculture or wet farming• Intensive production of trout, sea bass,

mussels,…
