    Commercial Aid In Australia

    Aid is an important part of our world that helps to improve and benefit the lives of others. Aid is financial or physical support from countries or public organisations to other states that are in times of need. While Aid is most often perceived as help to regions that have suffered from natural disasters, it comes in many forms. Aid is also not often provided because of good will and generosity from countries, it is used strategically to benefit both receiving and providing parties. Financial support form Australia has changed over time, and now heading towards an all time low. Without aid, rehabilitation of countries would be a much harder, strenuous process. Australia alone have helped to “cut global poverty by 50 percent in the last 10 years”- OXFAM. Providing resources and money to countries in need is essential for an ever evolving and expanding world.…

    The Advantages and Disadvantages of Australian Aid

    Providing aid to developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region allows the countries to develop politically and economically, helping the region prosper, and therefore improve Australia’s personal security. The aid provided by Australia helps developing countries to stabilise their situation by reducing the amount of development issues such as poverty within their country and therefore reduce the amount of refugees fleeing to Australia. Providing aid to developing countries also minimises the risk of civil unrest and terrorism occurring, and therefore reducing the chance of conflict occurring in which Australia would be affected or forced to be involved in. The stability and prosperity of the government in the developing countries allows for a more stable situation in the region and therefore increases Australia’s national security.…

    ‘Countries at Very Low Levels of Economic Development Face Such a Huge Challenge That They Cannot Hope to Address Them Without the Assistance from the Rest of the World’ to What Extent Do You Agree with This View?

    With two thirds of the world being made up by LICs, economic growth, the increase in output of goods and services that a country produces over a period of time, visible in its GDP, is essential for the growth of a country and the closure of the ‘development gap’. It has a multiplier effect that allows funds to be spent on infrastructure such as schools and roads; allowing living conditions to climb. Both aid and trade are used as a kick-starter for this multiplier effect, but which one is more efficient? Rostow’s model of Development notes this ‘kick-off’ as essential, with aid necessary for a ‘Traditional society’ to evolve into the ‘Transitional stage’ were specialization, surpluses and infrastructure allow Industrialization, growing investment, regional growth and political change to follow in Rostow’s ‘Take Off’ stage. For most of history this guide to development has been followed, with aims to develop being linked back to the giving of aid to LICs, but what does Aid actually involve and what really is it?…

    The challenges faced by the LDCs’ almost always cannot be tackled alone. The majority of LDC’s require assistance from the wealthier nations such as the USA and the UK. This is either in the form of aid, or arrangements to set up trade blocks and agreements. Aid can be defined as financial or technical support given to a recipient country from the donor country, for the purpose of financial rehabilitation, and economic stabilisation. Aid can be fragmented into 3 different branches, bilateral, multilateral, and non-government organisation (NGO) donations.…

    Foreign Aid and Investment of Bangladesh

    Foreign Aid any capital inflow or other assistance given to a country which would not generally have been provided by natural market forces. In Bangladesh, foreign aid serves to bridge the gap between savings and investments and make up the deficits in the balance of payments. Foreign aid is a major means of financing the country's economic development. Economic literature generally classifies foreign aid into four main types. First, the long-term loans usually repayable by the recipient country in foreign currency over ten or twenty years. Secondly, the soft loans repayable in local currency or in foreign currency but over a much longer period and with very low interest rates. The softest are the straight grants often given to the less developed countries. Sale of surplus products to a country in return for payment in the country's local currency, e.g., food aid from the USA under PL-480, is the third type and finally, the technical assistance given to the developing countries comprises the fourth type of foreign aid.…

    Development a Multidimensional Concept

    Although the assumption that development is primarily concerned with economic growth is incorrect, it is understood why this assumption was made in the first place. All countries that are now termed developed have experienced more or less consistent economic growth to their reaching to the point of developed. In addition, all of the ‘developed’ countries have high GDPs, which are considerably greater than developing countries’. For example, Caribbean neighbor, the United States of America, in the year 2000 had a GDP per capita of US$ 34, 142, while Caribbean island, Jamaica, in that same year had a GDP per capita of US$ 3,064. GDP per capita refers to the amount of money each person supposedly earns or is spent on each person, when the total population divides the GDP.…
