1.) What is the commonalities of developing countries and explain commonalities? The commonalities of developing countries are : Lower levels of living and productivity Low productivity means the business is having trouble producing more with the same amount of resources. Productivity is crucial in developing nations because it has a significant impact on living standards. Higher productivity also raises earnings. People can acquire what they desire by raising it. Lower levels of human capital Human Capital-The knowledge, skills, and health that people acquire throughout the course of their lifetimes, allowing them to reach their full potential as contributing members of society, are collectively referred to as human capital. By investing in human capital, we can eradicate extreme poverty and promote more inclusive societies. Without human capital, nations cannot maintain economic growth, won't have a workforce ready for the future's higher-skilled employment, and won't be able to successfully compete in the global market. Higher levels of inequality and absolute poverty At whatever pace of growth, the greater the baseline level of inequality, the lower the rate of income poverty. It is conceivable for inequality to become severe enough to cause rising poverty. Higher population growth rates The increase of persons in a population or dispersed group is referred to as population growth. Population expansion in underdeveloped countries may appear to be beneficial to local economies. Additional individuals supply the labor required to produce goods and services. However, rapid growth in some areas leads to increasing home costs and unsustainable traffic. Greater social fractionalization Social fractionalization may not be bad to rich countries, but it is harmful to developing countries. Larger rural population but rapid rural-urban migration Lower levels of industrialization Adverse geography Underdeveloped financial and other markets Lingering colonial impacts such as poor institutions and often external dependence
Commonalities is the state or feature that, on average, countries share with the countries that have become industrialized. 2.) BASIC INDICATORS OF DEVELOPMENT Real Income Per Capita / Purchasing Power Parity Health Education *REAL INCOME PER CAPITA / PURCHASING POWER PARITY According to the purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis, when a currency's purchasing power is equal in both countries, exchange rates between currencies are in equilibrium. This implies that the exchange rate between two nations should be equal to the difference in the prices in the two nations for a predetermined basket of goods and services. A country's exchange rate must fall in order for it to revert to PPP when its domestic price level is rising (i.e., when it experiences inflation). "Law of one price" serves as the foundation for PPP. When prices are expressed in the same currency, competitive markets will equalize the price of an identical good in two nations in the absence of transportation and other transaction expenses. *HEALTH Health is a critical indication of development. The international assistance community considers health to be the most essential issue to spend money on, with approximately 90% of the aid budget going to this sector. There are four adequate health indicators: life expectancy, child mortality, maternal health, and disease indicators. In conclusion, it is acceptable to doubt the veracity of global health metrics reported by underdeveloped countries. However, in developing nations, intermediary technologies such as national demographic and health surveys yield acceptable estimates of these indicators and can provide useful information to policymakers, allowing them to monitor equitable progress toward healthier populations. *EDUCATION
