The Phillips curve's relevance to less developed countries is that it serves as a frontier. These countries set the pace for the entire wage structure.
The Phillips curve was developed by a New Zealand economist William Phillips in 1958 in a paper titled "The Relationship between Unemployment and the Rate of Change of Money Wage Rates in the United Kingdom 1861- 1957".
The Phillips Curve is an inverse relationship between the rate of unemployment in an economy and the inflation. The lower the unemployment is, the higher inflation we get! Thus we can say that the Phillips Curve is negative (downward sloping)
developed countries are those in which have achieved the PPC curve i.e. they achieve maximum utilization of resources in the country

In economics it's the inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment.
The Phillips curve actually does not technically exist, although a modified, expectations Phillips curve does hold empirically. Moreover, the curve demonstrates a trade-off between unemployment and inflation. Essentially, the premise is that fiscal policy cannot solve inflation and unemployment. However, the curve does not hold after the 1960s, and many case studies show fiscal policy can solve both issues to a degree, or at least increase both at the same time.

The Phillips Curve, which illustrates an inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment, can be applied to Zimbabwe, but its relevance may be limited due to the country's unique economic context. Zimbabwe has experienced hyperinflation and periods of extreme economic instability, which can distort traditional economic relationships. Additionally, factors such as political instability, currency devaluation, and external influences may affect the applicability of the Phillips Curve in accurately representing the dynamics between inflation and unemployment in Zimbabwe. Therefore, while it can provide some insights, policymakers should consider local conditions and historical context when using this model.
