What does progress look like?
A country’s income has grown. Look at who can use the new opportunities.
Read the resource
| Indicator | 2016 | 2026 |

| Income per person (£) | 1800 | 2700 |
| Life expectancy (years) | 61 | 67 |

These are fictional national indicators. Income per person is an average. It does not show what each household receives.

Try it yourself
Explain why a national average could hide regional differences. Suggest one priority for the Interior using the data.
One possible answer
A national average combines regions with different outcomes. The Interior has lower life expectancy, water access and income. Improving clean water is a defensible priority because it can reduce illness, although local evidence about causes and costs would be needed.
