Developing Nation
Key Term and Why I Am Interested In It
I am interested in the term developing nation because it is a broad topic and several countries fall under this term as well as a wide range of other subject matter. The issues surrounding a developing nation are vastly different than those surrounding a developed nation. I am also interested in learning more about the characteristics of a developing nation and the things that developed nations are doing to assist those in developing countries. I am also interested in gaining an understanding of the developing nations’ growth, particularly, in areas of output and trade and what roles are developing nations playing in the world economy.
Explanation of Key Term
A developing nation is described as country that has not fully developed economically. Most citizens of these countries are living below the poverty line and are generally considered to be poor. Developing nations have more population growth than those in developed nations. Most developing nations have lower per capita income than those in developed nations. Developing nations have lower levels of human capita, particularly, as it relates to health and education. Those in developing nations have a shorter life expectancy than those in developed nations. There tends to be a higher student-teacher ratio and often receive a lower quality of education. There is a predominant level of agriculture in
The United States today is known as an industrialized nation. This means that we have a high standard of living. However, there are many countries that do not have a high standard of living and they are called developing nations. Many things could keep them from becoming a developed nation such as no international trade, lack of factories, and a lack of tariffs.
Both developing and developed nations were part of the set. The developed nations consisted of 47% of the total set. We started with 43 nations and dropped a few countries later from the analysis because of missing data.
Throughout the world countries are often characterized as being developed or developing. Two countries that are examples of being developed and developing are the United States and India. This classification of countries is often based on their economic status. Examples of economic categories that differentiate which countries are developed and developing are unemployment levels, living conditions, and economic growth. Despite countries being developed and developing, they all are always trying to improve their economic status. Comparing India and the United States, one can gain a better understanding of the differences of developed and developing countries.
Economic growth, put simply, is “an increase in the amount of goods and services produced per head of the population over a period of time”; development is inextricably linked with this economic growth. By utilising theories of economic growth and development we can see how the Chinese and Sub-Saharan African economies have emerged, but, more notably, we can use these to look at patterns from past and present to show their experience and the implications of this growth for the future.
It is hard to say that all developing countries are not equal, because they aren’t. According to the data in Hans presentation, even though almost all countries have changed and had a percent of progress but not all of them got advanced in the same
Developed countries are countries that are fully developed. Developed countries are also affected by the problem of unequal rights. But these acts occur less than they do in developing countries. For example, child labor, prostitution, and other horrible acts occur in developed countries too. They might not be as horrible as they are in less developed countries because fully developed countries have better securities to stop the acts. But in most countries the economy is bad and it is getting harder to earn money or even have a job. This leads to families feeling like they have no other choice but to become a prostitute, or make their child work.
When investigating the global state of poverty and prosperity there is clear difference between the wealthy nations and impoverished nations. In the past decades there has been an increase in economic polarity between the developed and developing nations of the world. Some nations are prospering greatly while others countries are still struggling to achieve, economic, political, and social stability. The book Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson attempts to explain why some nations have seen great success in their economic and political development, and why other nations are still failing to develop in this way. The arguments derived come from the key themes in chapters 3, 8, 9 and 15 of Acemoglu and Robinson’s book.
The issue being addressed is the path of countries in their quest for growth and sustainable development, as a result. For many, there is a shared sentiment that developing countries should not be put in a position to where they are
Economic development is a new concept that came about in the early twentieth century. Although, theorists argue that Karl Marx has alluded to the concept earlier in 1887 . Historically, the increasing importance of the concept can be traced back to the needs approach of the ILO , World Bank and Amartya Sen’s Capability approach (Sen, 1993). Gerald Meier defines economic development as ‘the process whereby the real per capita income of a country increases over a long period of time - subject to the stipulation that the number below an absolute poverty line does not increase and that the distribution of income does not become more unequal’. Wherein, there is evidently a strong relationship between economic growth and development. This essay analysis the concept of the two terms economic growth and economic development by examining their characteristic approaches. In turn, understanding the relationship between them.
Honestly, one would think that in todays modern world every country should be developed. However, few realize that there are still many developing countries. Mostly due to ignorance, and the majority doesn’t pay attention to the needs of developing countries. For instance, the only time a person may think of a developing country is when the see the commercials on television, and believes that this must be the only issues facing developing countries. Normally, people visualize those commercials asking for money to feed, or asking for help of some type of medical expenses. Take the United States as an example, and often this country would release funds to foreign aid before their own citizens. Which could easily cause tension amongst the government and the American people.

Common research in developing countries consistently shows evidence that sustained growth is the most important way to reduce poverty. Estimates of these studies are that a 10 percent increase in a country’s average income will reduce the poverty rate by 20 to 30 percent. Specific studies done in 14 separate countries in the 1990s showed that poverty fell in 11 countries that experienced significant economic growth and rose in the 3 countries with stagnant growth. For these countries, on average a 1 percent increase in per capita income reduced poverty by 1.7 percent.
More economically developed countries (MEDC) - Countries with sovereign states and that has a highly developed economy with advanced technological industries as compared to other countries. The Human Development index, standard of living as well as the Gross national product of these economies is on the upper level of every chart.

Today, many countries are involved. We cannot get rid of economic if we want to talk about development. The term economics can be defined as the science of how people and societies deal with their limited resources to satisfy their unlimited wants (Miller, 2012). The development of a country is based on many characteristics, such as the average income per capita, level of education, the death rate every year, the population health, and many more, but the most important characteristic is the economic activity of a country, therefore it should be promoted over any type of characteristics.
