Developing economies
Developing economies are low-income countries with limited industrialisation, predominantly agricultural sectors, low per capita incomes, and various barriers preventing economic development such as lack of capital, skills, and infrastructure.
Real World
Niger, one of the world's least-developed countries, relies heavily on subsistence farming and uranium exports, with a GDP per capita under $600 and over 40% of the population living below the international poverty line.
Exam Focus
For 'assess' questions, link each development barrier to a specific policy failure or vicious cycle to access evaluation marks.
