Developing countries accepted to the state, which only recently freed from colonial rule.In this regard, they are forced to endure the number of unresolved economic, social and political problems.These states are also called Third World countries.They occupy more than half of the Earth's land, their territory is home to about 75% of the population of the entire planet.
Made from 130 countries, this group of states is not uniform.Due to the constantly evolving political, social and economic processes of their internal situation is constantly changing.It is for this reason, to give a precise classification of this group is very difficult.
In the category of "developing countries" may include Africa, Oceania, Latin America and Asia.
Brazil, India, Mexico, Iran and Argentina - the state - leaders.They have a powerful economic, resource and human potential.
countries that not so long ago (from '70 of the twentieth century) have made a significant leap in the development of industry (through the use of their employment opportunities and foreign investment), and in a relatively short period of time have become quite large manufacturers of engineering products, called newly industrializedStates.These are developing countries like Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore.This group can be attributed to the state and involved in oil production and its export.These include Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Libya, the United Arab Emirates.
so-called intermediate states with averages, are the largest in number among the group of developing countries.These include Chile, Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Colombia and others.
developing countries include in its membership, and small island states such as that have significant recreational resources.They have a high volume of GDP are quite a large number of the population and are a major tourist center.
Developing countries have common characteristics, which make it possible to allocate them in a separate group.
- poverty.Most of the third world countries - countries with low living standards, which exceed the income of the rich material of the poor rate of 7-10 times.
- productivity.Developing countries have a relatively low figure for this category.The reason for this lies in the fact that for efficient production in such countries as the required foreign capital, and qualitative improvement of the education system, the transformation of ownership, improving the banking system, taxation and land reform, creating a new non-corrupt administrative apparatus.In addition, it is important the attitude of employees to work and to improve their skills, as well as self-discipline, initiative, ability to adapt to changes in the attitude to power.It can be argued that the poor performance in the third world countries is caused mostly noncompetitive (emotional and physical) on the labor market.
- population growth in these countries is high.40% of the population of the third world - children up to 15 years.For this reason, the cost of maintaining a disabled population are several times higher than in developed countries.
- unemployment rate marked as high and rising.
- economies of developing countries.In almost all countries pre-industrial types of production coexist closely the latest developments in science and technology.As a result, there is disharmony of economic development.Increasingly, to accelerate the pace of economic growth, the state carries out direct intervention by implementing the policy of statism.
