A database to find social information on different countries.

You may on occasion be given assignments where you're asked to compare different countries across a whole range of perspectives.
These assignments may touch on health provision, wealth, employment or any number of other social factors.

We have a database called Marketline which has in-depth reports on 100's of individual countries from all around the world. Marketline is primarily a business studies database but that's no barrier to anyone using it.

Let me give you a quick overview of how to use it.

I'll give you the link to log in to Marketline shortly but if you scroll down you'll see a screenshot of what the Marketline homepage looks like.























If you want to find a profile on a particular country click where it says 'Browse All Countries Information' and choose an option. On average the reports are around 80 pages covering many aspects of a country's make up.

Okay? The link to log-in (use the same log-in details as usual) to Marketline is here.

If you'd like me to go through the database again in preparation for a future assignment then just ask.
