What are problems faced by developing countries?

Developing
nations have many problems, many of which are connected to poverty. Developing nations often
have underdeveloped infrastructure systems. This leads to an inability to attract businesses to
expand there unless the government of the developing nation agrees to relax worker and
environmental protections. Many developing nations also lack reliable internetthis is another
factor that can drive off businesses.

Businesses who do move to developing
nations often take advantage of the situation by paying workers low wages for long hours.
Factory conditions are often unsafe, and the corporation pollutes the nation at will. This leads
to poor conditions within the country as the tax base remains low, thus making it harder to fund
local governments. Education suffers from a lack of funding; this makes the poverty generational
in many developing nations. Pollution, combined with a lack of steady food and clean water,
leads to lower life expectancy for the people who live in these countries.

Developing nations are often poor due to a lack of investment. This lack of investment
is caused by a lack of initiatives for businesses to move their interests there. Those
organizations that do often take advantage of bad situations by paying low wages and taking
advantage of a nation with no business regulations. In many circumstances, a few people who can
make the country better immigrate to richer countries. All of these things plague the developing
world and continue a cycle of poverty that dates back to the colonial era.
