Developing World

What is the developing world? The developing world includes the countries of the world that do not have many of the benefits of a developed country, such as good wages, health care and a safe place to live.

The Developing World is a term used to describe people and countries that still have not managed to get all of the things we take for granted, such as safe drinking water, electricity, health care, education and good jobs.

There are many historical reasons for this, and many are connected with colonial times when these countries were not brought forward at the same pace as the mother country.
