Another large problem is war, often if a country that is an L.D.C gets involved in a war, then they will feel the pressure, more so than countries that aren’t L.D.C’s. Also the worst kinds of wars are civil wars, as they completely destroy the country in which these people live. This happened often when one race was treated badly by a ruling race, this resulted in many civil wars. And wars are often caused by corruption and political unfairness.
Another large problem, that unfortunately can not be helped by peace talks is natural disasters. Sadly enough, this is often the cause of the destruction of a country.Things like earthquakes, floods, fires and droughts often wreak havoc on the L.D.Cs, and they simply do not have enough money to deal with these problems. Things like floods can easily destroy crops, but then so can droughts. If the rain does not fall, then the crops will simply die. A few months work could be so easily destroyed, as you can imagine this has a devastating effect on many L.D.Cs.
Also another thing is Cash Crops, if a country does not have enough money the they will grow something that is referred to as a cash crop. These are things like coffee and choclate, but they are growing things that can make small amounts of money, instead of things which can feed their own people. A town may starve because of this, a civilisation can not like on coffee and choclate. This links into unfair trade, workers can often get very small amounts of money for the work they do. This is because the supermarkets pay the people who actually are the middle men more money then the workers. They may only get a few pennies for the work that they have done.
There are definitely a lot of problems, some interesting statistics are; 1.4 billion people have no access to clean water, 25 percent of the worlds population control 80 percent of its income, and every day 35,000 people starve to death. Major causes of this are also peoples greed, for example, if someone invents a product, that can help people in third world countries, then they can patent it, and so that means that they can charge the country a lot of money to use that product. And also if there is a large company, and it gets rid of all its competition, then it can give its workers a very poor rate of pay. There will be nothing they can do about it as there is no where else they can go.
I would say the there is a definate need for world development. Many third worl countries , suffer greatly each day. We should all try to work with charities so that something can be done about it.
