Legal Definitions - developing country

A developing country is a nation that is not as economically or politically advanced as the main industrial powers. These countries are mostly located in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Latin and South America. They are also known as developing states, underdeveloped countries, less-developed countries, or Third World countries.

The term "developing country" has replaced other terms such as "poor" or "backward" countries, "underdeveloped countries," and "less developed countries." These terms refer to the same group of countries that are striving to improve their economic and political status.

• India
• Bangladesh
• Nigeria
• Kenya
• Haiti

These countries are examples of developing countries because they are still working towards improving their economies and political systems. They may have limited access to resources, technology, and education compared to industrialized nations. However, they are making progress and have the potential to become more advanced in the future.
