Developed Countries Versus Developing Countries
Developed Countries Versus Developing Countries - A List of specific identifiers or differences..
This is my personal collection of identifiers of Developed versus Developing country.
Note, about 80 perent of the planet is in the developing categories, it could be argued that Developed Countries are truly over-developed.
“Almost half the world — over three billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day”
“95% of developing country population lived on less than $10 a day. Using 2005 population numbers, this is equivalent to just under 79.7% of world population, and does not include populations living on less than $10 a day from industrialized nations.”
- World Bank
“Are you telling me you’re not smarter than 3 billion people, if these uneducated folks in Cambodia can do, why can’t you?”
- Mark July 10
