Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A developing country is generally defined as a low- or middle-income country. This means that the country has a relatively low gross domestic product (GDP) per capita compared to developed countries, and may also have lower levels of human development, lower life expectancy, and lower education levels. However, not all low-income countries are considered developing countries, as some may lack the potential for economic growth and development. The term "third-world country" has fallen out of use as it is often seen as outdated and politically incorrect.
