CONTENT FOCUS
Students examine the nature of, and differences in, human wellbeing and development that exist
within and between countries. They describe ways of measuring human wellbeing and development to
reveal spatial variations and develop explanations for differences. Students investigate examples from

the consequences of spatial variations across scales. Local, national and global initiatives to improve
human wellbeing are also examined.
