Fascinating Fact:

Economically developed countries, like the UK, usually have more industry, services, and buildings such as factories, shops, and offices.

In KS2 Geography, pupils learn to compare places around the world. They explore how richer, more economically developed countries often have more services, transport links, and built-up areas than poorer regions.

Key Terms

  • Economically developed country: A country with higher incomes, more services, and good transport and technology, such as the United Kingdom.
  • Industry: Work that makes goods in factories or workshops, for example making cars, clothes, or food products.
  • Service: A job that helps people rather than making things, such as teaching, banking, health care, or running a shop.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is an economically developed country in KS2 geography?

An economically developed country has higher average incomes, better services, and more jobs in industry and offices than many poorer countries. The UK is an example.

How is the UK different from a less developed country?

The UK usually has more hospitals, schools, roads, and shops, and many people work in services, while less developed countries may rely more on farming and have fewer services.

Why do developed countries have more factories and offices?

Developed countries often have more money to invest, good transport, and new technology, which encourages companies to build factories and offices and create a wide range of jobs.
