term "third world countries" appeared in the second half of the twentieth century to refer to countries not participating in the so-called arms race that began twenty years after the end of the Second World War.The modern sense of the phrase we owe to the Frenchman Alfred Sauvy, who published in 1952 an article in one of the are popular at the time of publications.In its work, Shobi compared the concept of the Third World (developing) with the concept of a third class of people in traditional society.Therefore, the main feature of the Third World to the 80s of the 20th century was considered a low level of per capita income, the backwardness in the field of economy, politics and industry from other world countries.
In order to understand what constitutes a third world country, you must first understand what the state called developed.It called developed countries where the government is able to provide its citizens with a comfortable and healthy life against the backdrop of a safe environment.The list of modern developed countries are: France, Australia, Sweden, Italy, Israel, Germany, USA, Japan, the Vatican, Portugal, etc.The main features of developing countries today are: absence or weak expression of democracy, unstable market economy, lack of social rights and guarantees.
Thus, developing countries - a country with a low level of socio-economic development.As a developing covers all states of South America, Africa and most of Asia.They are characterized by an old model of the economy, low income, poor education system.According to some reports, 20% of the adult population in Africa currently remain illiterate.Key developing countries, also called industrial, exceed the previous level of economic development.They are: South Korea, Turkey, India, the Philippines, Singapore, Mexico, etc.
According to research by sociologists, third world countries are different:
- agrarian and raw material oriented economy;
- low-quality labor force;
- the existence in the past as a colony;
- heterogeneity of social structures.
decisive role in the economies of many of these countries still has the development of agriculture and handicrafts.Almost all the countries of the third world until the 20th century existed in the form of colonies, which could not but affect the development of their economy and industry.Some of the most underdeveloped countries in the world are: Ethiopia, Tanzania, Laos, Somalia, Honduras, Guatemala.It should be noted that most developing countries are in South Africa is currently in distress.These states can not provide its residents the opportunity to eat properly, to have a roof over his head, to get timely medical treatment, attend educational institutions.The mortality rate in these countries from starvation, disease and killings is extremely high.Residents economically favorable regions and countries safely enjoy all the benefits of civilization and strive for financial independence, while representatives of the human race continues to live in very poor conditions of tropical forests and the far north.
A special feature of many developing countries is the development of tourism as the main activity of the indigenous population.An endless stream of travelers provides the material well-being of many of their inhabitants.Today there is no place in the world that would not have visited the curious traveler.Therefore, we can safely say that many of the lagging behind the world powers in terms of the economy exceed their annual influx of tourists.
