When pursuing development plans, they are usually geared around methods to increase the state of the country’s economy. However, the ultimate goal for a development plan should be to not only ensure that the economy is better off but that the people are better off. Developing later has benefits in the sense that decisions can be improved based on learning from advanced countries and have the knowledge on how not to waste resources. On the other hand, the later you begin to develop the more difficult it will be because of the time lapse. On top of that, based on the description of the country, there will a lot of challenges, economically and politically, to endure in order to attempt to achieve development. The biggest challenge that the country faces is in terms of currency. The country needs local currency to pay for labor and domestic inputs while the foreign exchange is necessary to pay for technology, capital goods, imported inputs, and transportation. Although, it is beneficial that the country has no deficit or accumulating debt, the country does not have any foreign exchange. This hinders the overall ability for the country to develop via industrialization. One way to get foreign exchange is to exchange your local currency into dollars, but this can only be done a very small scale because the domestic currency is needed and exchange rates can become problematic. Another possible mechanism to create foreign exchange is through implementing free trade. This would
Economic development can be defined generally as involving an improvement in economic welfare, measured using a variety of indices, such as the Human Development Index (HDI). A developing country is described as a nation with a lower standard of living, underdeveloped industrial base, and a low HDI relative to other countries. There are several factors which may have the effect of limiting economic development in such countries. Factors such as these include: primary product dependency, the savings gap and political instability.
Lot of changes in the government of the country that there is so much of uncertainty among the people as well as the foreign investors that affects the economic development in the country.
The reader must understand that development is not easily defined within comparative politics. The concept of development is complex and can not be explained as simply as black and white. “For example would you say an oil-rich country such as Saudi Arabia is experiencing development if its economy is growing rapidly but nearly all of the benefits of the growth are going to a small number of elite? Would you say that a country is developing if people are

The economy and industry there are in the developing process, which means that they are lack of investments from outside.
Development: It is increasing the standard of living by considering economics is the key function. Every theory of development has functions of economics. It plays a vital role in social science. It is widely considered as “committed” i.e., serves an interest especially class interest. Economists have equal important like scientists, because these people concern with important issues like economic growth, employment and development etc., Economic theories of development have own way of History, projections, philosophical bias, practice, language and relations.

While answering the last question, Bennet Woods stated that one of the first things that we needed to do was to formulate a strategy and an immediate one that would emerge and help in evaluating all the assets that the congregation had. This could be divided into two categories, the physical assets of property and the assets of members of the congregation. This would refers to what their gifts and graces would on a personal level and how that could help the church ministry. This being said, we would know from the case study the size of the building and when it was last renovated but we would need to be checking in to make sure that there was not anything that could
The story does not end here, the real problem is the trade deficit and US debts that are destroying the economy and future plans of the people regarding the investments. The country is facing twin debts at a time; the national debt taken from the natives, and the debt from the other nations that has also to be return eventually. The remaining problem covers the trade deficit that has no chances of recovery in the near future (El-Agraa, 2011).

Development is defined as “the process of change operating over time- the process by which countries and societies advance and become richer’’. The modern 20th century defines development as” the process of change which allows all the basic needs of a region to be met, thereby achieving greater social justice and quality of life and encouraging people to fulfill their potential’’. Todaro defines development as “the process of improving the quality of all human lives through raising people’s living standards, their incomes, consumption levels of food, medical services, education, raising people’s self-esteem through the establishment of social, political and economic systems and institutions that promote dignity and respect and increasing people’s
The term developmental state has been widely utilised to describe any state experiencing a period of economic development and improvement in living standards (Pham, 2012). One of the most significant arguments in this scope is the performance of developmental state model. A number of scholars have attempted to investigate this issue and arguments can be divided into three categories. Proponents of state intervention indicate that the state plays an indispensable role in directing economic development and utilising the resources of the country to achieve development goals. On the contrary, those who oppose state-led model argue
The first false assumption that Easterly discusses is what actions achieve economic development. His overall claim is that development economists claim they know the methods, but they continually change their methods, because the development progress is not successful. From the 1950s to the 1970s, the poor countries were advised to increase GDP rate through increasing investment in both public and private sectors especially in infrastructures. However, loans to finance these projects cannot be repaid, so it resulted in two debts crisis in 1980s. Linked to this, the new method under the campaign “adjustment with growth” adjust by the experts of the IMF, the World Bank and the Post Washington Consensus was applied. Unfortunately, those adjustments are still inappropriate and contribute to almost zero
The development of the economy is becoming more and more important for every country in nowadays. “Canada’s economic history begins with the hunting, farming and trading societies of the First Nation.” (Drummond. I. M., economic history) along with the Europeans arriving this area, the economic has a dramatic change especially by the early Atlantic fishery industry. (Drummond. I. M., economic history) There are three major sectors in every country which are primary sector, secondary sector and service sector. There is a significant change in Canada which is the service-sector growth so fast from 1891 to 2012. In the book ‘work, industry, and Canadian society’, it shows that there is 80% in service sector, 22% in secondary sector and 4% in
According to an economist the idea of development is a situation whereby there is an increase in a nations GNP and GDP, leading to an increase in growth .but to a sociologist this is a surface definition as development or rather a country is regarded as developed when such increase is affecting the living condition of its people even to the smallest group in the society. Where we don’t only calculate numbers and figures and structures but can see the positive change of things in the life of the people, both the rich, average and poor. Then such a society would be regarded as developed. For example the living conditions of the USA.
