4. Categorizing World Development.
Countries are categorized by their economic development
1. Less Developed Country (LDCs).
2. Moderately Developed Country (MDCs).
3. Highly Developed Country (HDCs).
5. Less Developed Country (LDCs).
A developing country is a country with a relatively low
standard of living, undeveloped industrial base, a poor
agricultural country that is seeking to become more
advanced economically and socially.

7. Factor of developing countries
Agriculture
Education
Health care
Economy
Consumption
Technological gap
8. Agriculture
1) It is very important in these countries because they usually use a subsistence
agriculture.
2) There are two basic types of agriculture:
1. traditional
2. plantation agriculture.
3) The traditional is practiced in small plots of land and it’s to feed families.
4) The plantation agriculture consists of large farms or estates practiced in less developed
tropical countries.
9. Education
Awareness
poverty
In these countries most of the people are literate (they can read and write but with
difficulties).
Around 38 million children don’t go to school. They can’t because of economic
reasons or just because they have to work to help their families: this is called child
labor.
–
10. Health care
Millions of people die every year from curable diseases.
One in sixteen women dies or child birth.
Because of the poverty there are bad hygienic conditions, that helps for
most of the illnesses and the mortality (especially infant mortality),
caused also by the lack of access to medicines.
11. Economy
The income per capita is low, .
The economic growth is low to, and difficult to maintain.
The infrastructure and the services are deficient and inaccessible to most of the
population.
In these countries the consumption is very low because of the economy. Many
families live of subsistence systems.
12. Consumption
In these countries the consumption is very low because of the poverty and the
economic situation.
Because of this there is a high percentage of the population that suffers of
malnutrition.
There is a lack of access to safe drinking water that contributes to 80% illnesses
and 30% of deaths in these countries.
13. Technological gap
Poor countries suffer from a lack of technology, they cannot
assimilate the technology from the developed countries.
This makes them uncompetitive in the world market, so the
economy doesn’t develop
14. Main problem in developing countries
1) Low Standard Of Living
2) Undeveloped industry
3) Less develop in Technology and Infrastructure
4) Low Levels in: -Education
5) Healthcare services -Life expectancy
15. Main Characteristics of Developing
Countries
The following list shows the main characteristics of developing countries:
General Poverty: Developing countries are poor. GDP and Per Capita Income are at low level.
High Dependence on Agriculture: Agriculture is the main occupation in developing countries.
Underutilized Natural Resources: Most of the developing countries are rich in natural resources.
Lack of Industries and Enterprises: The industrial sector in developing countries is at the primary
stage of development.
16. Main Characteristics of Developing
Countries
Lack of Capital and Technology: Capital deficiency is another common problem
of developing countries.
Lack of Basic Infrastructures: The factors that help for development are called
infrastructures.
Demographic Characteristics: There is high growth rate of population in
developing countries.
Socio-cultural Characteristics: Different kinds of social groups reside in a
country.
Dualistic Economy: All the sectors of economy have not been developed in
developing countries
17. Most developed centuries (MDCs)
– Developed country. A developed country (also known as an industrialized
country or more economically developed country (MEDC)) is a country that
has more businesses and infrastructure (roads, airports, electricity, etc.) than
a developing country.
19. Factors of MDCs
– classifying Countries We can also classify countries as developed.
Rich
Industrial Good
roads, transportation
High Energy Consumption
Oil
coal,
nuclear Good health care
Clean Water
20. Characteristics of MDCs
They are highly industrialized.
Their birth and death rates are stable.
They do not have excessively high birth rates because, thanks to quality medical care and
high living standards.
infant mortality rates are low. Families do not feel the need to have high numbers of
children with the expectation that some will not survive. No developed country has an
infant mortality rate higher than 10 per 1,000 live births.
In terms of life expectancy, all developed countries boast numbers greater than 70 years;
21. Characteristics of MDCs
hey have more women working, particularly in high-ranking executive positions.
These career-oriented women frequently choose to have smaller families or
eschew having children altogether.
They use a disproportionate amount of the world's resources, such as oil.
In developed countries, more people drive cars, fly on airplanes, and power
their homes with electricity and gas. Inhabitants of developing countries often
do not have access to technologies that require the use of these resources.
22. The 10 Richest and Poorest
Countries in the World
– 10. San Marino
– San Marino is a tiny country that is completely surrounded by the Italian
countryside. Given its small size, population, and relative wealth, its per capita GDP is
extremely high. San Marino’s population is a little more than 30,000
9. United Arab Emirates
– As for number nine on the list, if there’s a city that represents “new wealth” in the 21st
century, it’s Dubai.
8. Norway
– Norway’s not nearly as small as San Marino, but it also benefits (in terms of GDP per
capita) from a relatively small population and a good amount of wealth. The city of Oslo
has emerged as a hub for international business and startup activity.
–
23. – 7. Ireland
– Number seven on our list, Ireland, has also become something of a hub for
businesses.
6. Kuwait
– But it’s a rich Western Asia country that, like many of its neighbors, is enjoying a
renaissance due to its natural resources.
5. Brunei
– It’s another tiny nation that is surrounded by Malaysia and the South China Sea.
24. – 4. Singapore
Singapore is hugely important to international business and finance, and has become one of the world’s smallest
— but most robust — nations.
– 3. Macau
– Macau is in a similar position as Singapore. Located near Hong Kong, it’s famous for its huge malls and casinos,
which attract swaths of tourists.
2. Luxembourg
– The European country of Luxembourg comes in second. Luxembourg is located between Germany, France, and
Belgium, and is yet another geographically small country with a dense and wealthy population.
1. Qatar
– At the top of the list? Qatar. The world’s richest country is yet another nation cashing in due to its access to
natural resources.
