Questions about the Measuring Development poster

- Who is the Measuring Development poster for?
- Measuring Development belongs to the Economics section rather than to a school year, because business is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning development can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Measuring Development poster?
- GDP per head misses distribution, health, education and freedom. Composite measures try to capture more. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Measuring Development belongs on the wall where that business work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Measuring Development?
- Inequality, Does Aid Work? and Climate & Development sit alongside Measuring Development in the Economics section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.InequalityDoes Aid Work?Climate & Development
- Is the Measuring Development poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Measuring Development downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Economics section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Measuring Development poster print at?
- Measuring Development is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Measuring Development loses nothing.Printing guide
