This engaging and fully resourced lesson explores the core question: Why is Yemen the poorest country in the Middle East? Students investigate the complex causes of poverty in Yemen—including conflict, corruption, lack of infrastructure, and gender inequality—through guided group research using laptops or tablets. A development indicators comparison with Saudi Arabia (e.g. GDP per capita, literacy, access to water) deepens understanding of what drives wealth and poverty across nations. Visual aids such as maps, and poverty-related images are included, with placeholders allowing you to easily adapt or update them. Activities include a starter spider diagram, a development data table, and a letter-writing task to Yemen’s president proposing solutions. Perfect for KS3 or KS4 Geography or Citizenship lessons with strong cross-curricular links to global development and economics.
