Industrialised or ‘Western’ countries generally have a higher standard of living than ‘less developed’ or ‘Third World’ countries. In the West people generally have access to employment, clean water, electricity, refrigeration, heating, food, clothing, housing, schools, hospitals, medicines, computers, communications, libraries, roads, transport, machinery and manufacturing. In the process they consume more resources.
In the very poorest countries of the Third World, most people live without access to these things and rely on what they can grow, hunt or gather. They may acquire other goods if they have surplus produce to sell. They are disadvantaged by a lack of roads, railways, telecommunications and power supply and so may be unable to reach the limited number of hospitals or schools. Many of these countries are in sub-Saharan Africa.
There are also a group of countries that have some infrastructure, literacy and health services but still have large numbers of their population living at subsistence level and without access to these services. This group of emergent or transitional economies includes Thailand, Indonesia and other countries in South-East Asia and Latin America. | Translation - Spanish
Los países industrializados u "Occidentales", en general, tienen un mayor nivel de vida que los países "menos desarrollados" o "Tercer Mundo". En Occidente la gente generalmente tiene acceso al empleo, agua potable, electricidad, refrigeración, calefacción, comida, ropa, vivienda, escuelas, hospitales, medicamentos, computadoras, comunicaciones, bibliotecas, carreteras, transporte, maquinaria y manufactura. A raíz de ello consumen más recursos.
En los países más pobres del Tercer Mundo, la mayoría de las personas viven sin acceso a estas cosas y dependen de lo que puede cultivar, cazar o recolectar. Podrán adquirir otros bienes si tienen excedentes para vender. Se encuentran en desventaja por la falta de carreteras, ferrocarriles, telecomunicaciones y suministro de energía; y por ello pueden ser incapaces de llegar al, limitado número, de hospitales o escuelas. Muchos de estos países se encuentran en el África Subsahariana.
También hay un grupo de países que tienen algunas infraestructuras, escuelas y servicios de salud, pero que todavía tienen a gran parte de su población viviendo en el nivel de subsistencia y sin acceso a estos servicios. Este grupo de economías emergentes o en transición, incluyen Tailandia, Indonesia y otros países en el Sudeste Asiático y América Latina. |
