Compare the population structure of the developing south with the developing north
Answers
Explanation:
A population pyramid or "age-sex-pyramid" is a graphical illustration of the distribution of a population (typically that of a country or region of the world) by age groups and sex; it typically forms the shape of a pyramid when the population is growing.[1] Males are usually shown on the left and females on the right, and they may be measured by count or as a percentage of the total population. This tool can be used to visualize the age of a particular population.[2] It is also used in ecology to determine the overall age distribution of a population; an indication of the reproductive capabilities and likelihood of the continuation of a species.
Answer:
Underdeveloped countries : this old term has become obsolete because of its derogatory overtones.
Developing countries : this expression is less derogatory than the first but subscribes to the same biased notion of some time lag. Moreover, it presumes an improvement of the situation that is not always verified. The World Bank still classifies countries as ‘developed or ‘developing’. [1].
Least advanced countries : a term used in the classifications of international authorities, but it combines all the preceding defects.
Third world : a term invented by Alfred Sauvy [2] in 1952 (by analogy with the third state) and which was popular during the Cold War as a means of naming all the countries taking an independent stand whether with regard to the United States or to the USSR. Two facts have rendered the use of the term more delicate sensitive, although the habit still persists: on the one hand, the disappearance of the USSR and the Soviet bloc, and on the other hand the growing heterogeneity of the former countries of the Third World, several of which have experienced an actual economic development, or even, in some cases, have joined the group of ‘developed’ countries in the World Bank’s classification.
