Development is the process of building a stronger and more advanced economy and creating higher living standards. The nations working toward development in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are known collectively as the developing world. Each of these nations faces challenges of development as each tries to create better lives for its citizens.
Education, technology, the environment, and the economy: all of these, as well as others, are factors in development.
Since 1945, more than 50 new nations have been born in Africa, each trying to improve the daily lives of its citizens.
China and India are home to two-fifths of the world's people, and their economies have grown stronger over the past 60 years.
Despite setbacks, Latin American nations have tried to sustain economic growth and overcome a legacy of poverty and social inequality.
