1. Choose two countries one as developing country and one as developed country. 2. How do you decide whether it is developing or developed country?
Russia developing country……. Germany developed country.

Developed country or “more developed country” (MDC) is a sovereign state that has a highly developed economy and advanced technological infrastructure relative to other less developed nations. Most commonly the criteria for evaluating the degree of economical development are GDP, per capita income, level of industrialization and general standards of living. Developed countries have post industrial economies, meaning the service sector provides more wealth than the industrial sector. They are contrasted with developing countries, which are in the process of industrialization. Developing country or “less developed country” (LDC) is a nation with a low living standard, undeveloped industrial base and low human development index relative to other countries. There is general reference points of nations with low GDP compared to other nations. Developing countries has not reached a certain stage of development and lack both human and material resources in improving the welfare of the people. Developed countries have enough resources in improving the welfare of its citizen because those facilities are already provided. For instance, in the production of rice and babies, enough machines are provided reducing stressfulness and suffering.

    One of the major economic challenges facing my generation is resources. For me resources including natural, human, and capital resources and the economy cannot develop without using resources. I believe that resources are limited while people always want to exploit more to adapt their needs. For instance, oil, fuel, gold, iron ore, and so on may run out of if people exploit natural resources too much. Because of the scarcity, war may happen and products and services may become overvalue. In additional, technologies may be an alternative option for producing because of its productive, no emotion, and economy solutions, people who have less knowledge and skills are no longer have chances to work at factories. Therefore, people, in my generations try to study to land in jobs. In Vietnam, there are many areas where poor families are available who cannot adapt the tuition fees and have enough conditions to give their children to schools. As a result, they do not have enough knowledge and cannot find job; then, the standard of living is extremely low. I believe that the fast growing in economy of my country is not strong enough to solve the poverty…

    The key concept “developing nation” is the term used to describe a country with a low level of material well-being. A developing nation is also considered to be a third world nation, where poverty and disease run rampant, education is nearly nonexistent, and life expectancy is very low (Satterlee, 2009, pg. 88). Along with that explanation, developing nations also typically have a Human Development Index of less than 0.5 according to the Human Development Reports office. In comparison to developed nations, the population growth of developing nations is very high, with about two-thirds of the world 's population stemming from developing nations.…

    The 4 countries exposed where Malawi, Bangladesh, India and China which broadly correspond to four ‘stages’ of development. Malawi represents the four billion people trapped in extreme poverty, living on less than $1 a day. Bangladesh represents the poor, or the 1.5 billion people living on between $1-$2/ day. India is provided as an example of a country that is increasingly populated with people on ‘middle incomes’. And China which is again like India, there are millions who live in poverty, but parts of China are increasingly coming to resemble the West. Poverty is not uniformly distributed across the globe, there are rich and poor people in every country, although most of the poor live in three regions, South(30%) and East(15%) Asia and Sub Saharan Africa(40% of the population.) Some reasons why some countries fail to achieve economic growth, is because some people are trapped to poverty, the poor doesn't have the ability to move out, because when people are hungry, they tend to use all their energy into survival and there is no capacity to save anything for the future. Another reason is the trade barriers, some countries economies are crippled by unfair trade rules. Some reasons are because…

    Less Developed Countries

    Many countries today face overwhelming political, cultural, economical and geographical challenges that lead to poor development. The world 's poorest countries are referred to as less developed countries (LDCs). Today, there are 48 countries that are designated by the United Nations as the world 's least developed countries, but many other countries also face the same challenges. Based on three criteria, every three years the United Nations categorizes these countries. The first of these three criteria is based on per capita income of the country. The countries ' average gross national income over the course of three years is analyzed and if the average is less than $992 they meet the first criteria ("The Least Developed Countries Report 2012”, 2012). The second criteria is based on human resource weaknesses. Compared to the Human Assets Index, there are four categories that are reviewed: 1) nutrition; 2) health/mortality rate; 3) education; and 4) adult literacy (Nations Online, 2013). Finally the last category involves economic vulnerability. In this category, criteria such as instability of exported goods and agricultural products are reviewed, along with how small the population and geographical area affect the country 's economy. Once the criteria is reviewed, countries can either be added to the list or possibly graduate from the list (“The Least Developed Countries Report 2012,” 2012). The three specific criteria that the United Nations sets for LDCs are not the only way to define these countries, however. Many common characteristics among the world 's poorest countries can be seen, leaving these countries trapped in a cycle of poverty. This leads to the important question of “why are these countries so poor?” and “what are these common characteristics found among these LDC 's?”…
