Come In And Criticize These 5 ways To Become A Developed Country.. by Nobody: 3:10pm On Feb 02, 2018 |
According to the Human Development Index, most of the world’s developed countries are located in Europe and North America while large swaths of Africa and Asia remain underdeveloped (South America falls somewhere in the middle). In addition to population size problems, these developing nations have to deal with political pressure revolving around the use of environmentally sustainable measures of growth—pressures that did not exist when currently developed nations were in their growth spurts. Discussed below are five easy steps to help develop a country and guide the growth of future international trading partners. |

Five Easy Steps to Develop a Country 1. Share resources Obviously, the fewer resources an average family uses, the lower the nation’s ecological footprint. Developing countries may not be able to afford electric or semi-electric cars, but their people can conserve both money and oxygen by carpooling, riding bikes and reusing grocery bags. At the level of foreign advocacy, there are already influential notables arguing for the synergy between alleviating poverty and quelling climate change. Lord Nicholas Stern, chairman of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, warned against resorting to high-carbon- intensive resources to help impoverished countries. “The world is underinvesting in infrastructure, especially in developing countries where there are the largest unmet needs,” he wrote recently. For this reason, he encouraged governments not to separate climate and environmental funds from foreign aid, arguing that the two had to go hand-in- hand in order to produce long-term benefits. |

2. Promote education All levels of education are important stepping- stones to development, from the fundamentals of kindergarten, to the advanced quantum physics courses at the university. Each class ought to be taught with the overarching goals of quality of life and economic improvement in mind. Education stops terrorist groups from gaining strength and trains doctors and scientists to research and cure diseases. It is one of the primary movers that help impoverished nations to help themselves. Studies have shown that the greater number of mean years children attend school, the healthier that nation’s economy becomes. |

3. Empower women Education is most valuable to a developing country’s most vulnerable groups. The most common demographic among all of these populations—farmers, small-scale producers, victims of epidemics and terrorist groups—are women. Children of both genders are vulnerable as well, but the impoverished boys who do not die prematurely or join the terrorists are more likely to have enough social mobility to get educated and leave than girls. In the least educated African countries— Somalia, Niger, Liberia, Mali and Burkina Faso —over 70 percent of girls between seven and 16 have never attended school. By empowering women and equalizing academic opportunity, countries can increase incomes by an average of 23 percent. They can do this by investing in schools closer to rural areas so that the children of farmers do not have to walk hours each day to get to and from school, straining their parents’ time and resources in the process. That way, neither parents nor children would feel pressure to force a decision between farm work and schoolwork and the poorest populations could begin to make progress. |

4. Negotiate strategic political relations Americans have seen firsthand what happens when big businesses and lobbyists become too deeply involved with politicians. When it happens in third-world countries, their poorest, most disadvantaged citizens are the ones who suffer. This often leads to violent uprisings with scads of victims on both sides. There’s a reason why college majors such as international relations and politics are practically universal. Aligning with people who have considerable political power and pathetically few scruples seldom benefits the poorer country. For that reason it is imperative that the educated learn to choose their political leaders carefully in order to make the greatest leaps in ecological, economic and humanitarian development. |

5. Reform the systems of food and aid
distribution
So many millions of people still suffer from
world hunger each day. Their problem springs
less from stinginess among foreign taxpayers,
but from inefficient systems of distribution. As
Senegalese entrepreneur Magatte Wade
recently explained, the bulk of taxpayer money
filtering in from more affluent countries does
not actually pay for African or Asian aid partly
due to deep flaws in the regulations and in
large part because of theft. “Look no further
than the people who make most of that
money,” she advised. “That’s where the money
ends up.”
Here again, the rally call ought to be to support
Africans rather than the inexperienced,
inadvertently patronizing, members of the aid
business. Instead of pouring money into
resources, shipping and energy costs, she
says, developed countries ought to invest in
local African businesses so that the people can
more effectively improve their own
circumstances without having to resort to the
whims of potentially corrupt and incompetent
leaders.

MIKOLOWISKA:of course, when government begins to value teachers and recognize the mighty role they play in,shaping,the future, Nigeria's growth will surely move in the positive direction. there is also urgent need to visit the infrastructure of Nigerian university and to consider the national budget allocation for education. 1 Like 1 Share |

ObaofNigeria:value how No government can produce quality education |
Re: Come In And Criticize These 5 ways To Become A Developed Country.. by Nobody: 8:52pm On Feb 02, 2018 |
MIKOLOWISKA:noted. but I am actually in support of Nigerian products although I believe a lot of nigerian product are not up to par because of feeling entitled to patronization, I think this should take over from foreign investment as I think foreign investment leave too much economic power to foreigners. this part of the article was actually discussing proper use of aid which most develop nation boast of giving to Nigeria .by bypassing the government and working directly with Nigerian entrepreneurs corruption in government and underutilization of these funds is also bypassed. |
