What is development?
Development is any improvement in the standard of living of people in a specific country. It includes factors related to money, such as wealth, which we call economic factors and factors related to people, such as literacy, which we call social factors.
A developed country is one that is considered to have a high standard of living, such as:
- good housing
- good education system
- longer life expectancy
Access to health care in Ethiopia can be affected by physical geography and limited funding and equipment.
A developing country is one that is considered to have a lower standard of living, such as:
- lack of medical care
- limited access to education
- more people working in agriculture
For example, the UK is considered a developed country and Ethiopia is considered a developing country.
