• All countries worldwide have gender inequality, as expressed in the indices Gll and GDI.
• Most of the world has reached 0.98 or higher GDI, except Japan, Thailand, and Namibia.
• Because of modern medicine, reproduction no longer plays a role in gender equality.

• Countries that are very highly developed and have a high HDI also have equally high levels of gender equality.
Explain
This statement correctly summarizes the current state of gender equality by recognizing the correlation between a country's level of development, as measured by the Human Development Index (HDI), and its level of gender equality. Research has shown that countries with higher levels of development tend to have higher levels of gender equality, as they often have better access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities for women. This is supported by data that indicates a positive relationship between a country's HDI score and its ranking on gender equality indices. Therefore, it is accurate to say that countries with a very high HDI are more likely to have higher levels of gender equality.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates followed these stages of development:
1. traditional, agrarian society
2. investment in fossil fuel extraction, resulting in becoming leading crude oil exporters
3. reinvestment of revenues in infrastructure, education, steel, and other industries
4. motor vehicle and cell phone ownership rose to become the highest per capita, globally
5. launch of renewable energy initiatives and creation of an electricity supply market in 2017
This approach aligns with which development model?
A) W.W. Rostow's model
B) the peripheral model
C) the green revolution model
D) the self-sufficiency model
E) the "four dragons" model

A) W.W. Rostow's model
Why?
This development approach aligns with W.W. Rostow's model, also known as the "Stages of Economic Growth" model, because it describes a progression of stages that a country goes through as it develops economically.
In the case of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates:
1. They started as traditional, agrarian societies.
2. They then invested in fossil fuel extraction, becoming leading crude oil exporters, which corresponds to the "take-off" stage in Rostow's model, where a country experiences rapid industrialization and economic growth based on a key sector.
3. They reinvested revenues in infrastructure, education, and other industries, mirroring the "drive to maturity" stage in Rostow's model, where infrastructure and education are improved, and industrial diversification occurs.
4. Motor vehicle and cell phone ownership rose significantly, indicating a high standard of living and consumerism, typical of the "mass consumption" stage in Rostow's model.
5. Finally, the launch of renewable energy initiatives aligns with the "age of high mass consumption" in Rostow's model, where countries focus on sustainability and technological advancement.
Overall, the progression of stages in the development of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates fits well with the stages outlined in W.W. Rostow's model of economic growth.
