because they borrowed money from other rich Countries
Because LEDCs are generally weaker than MEDCS so in a general term we are to see the weak rise compared to the strong, cause you cannot get stronger.
Being a less economically developed country (LEDC) does not necessarily mean that a country will always be poor. With the right policies, investments, and development strategies, LEDCs can improve their economic condition and standard of living over time. Many LEDCs have made progress in recent years in terms of economic growth and poverty reduction.
the development gap divides the richer (the richer north) and poorer (the poorer south) countries.
why is fair trade good for LEDCs
LEDCs are non-industrial nationsMedc's are industrialized nationsMEDC- MORE ECONOMICALLY DEVELOPED COUNTRIESLEDC- LESS ECONOMICALLY DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
ledcs ask medcs for money if they need it but over time, medcs charge more and more interest and so the ledcs can't pay it back. medcs also bargain for their resources so when the ledcs are left in debt, with no control over their resources, they end up in poverty.
Solutions for LEDCs (Less Economically Developed Countries) may include increasing access to education and healthcare, investing in infrastructure development, promoting sustainable agriculture practices, and fostering economic diversification to reduce dependency on a single industry. Additionally, promoting fair trade practices, improving governance and transparency, and providing access to clean water and sanitation can also contribute to the overall development of LEDCs.
Droughts tend to cause more damage to Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs) than More Economically Developed Countries (MEDCs) due to several factors. LEDCs often lack the infrastructure, technology, and resources needed for effective water management and drought mitigation, making them more vulnerable to water shortages. Additionally, many LEDCs rely heavily on agriculture for their economies and livelihoods, so prolonged droughts can lead to severe food insecurity and economic instability. In contrast, MEDCs typically have more diversified economies and better access to resources that can help mitigate the impacts of drought.

Often it is the conflict that prevents these countries from developing their economies. Proper development can only occur in a relatively stable environment. Conflict puts off investors and causes migration (eg refugees) which does not enable economic growth and development to take place. Often conflict is over access to resources which means that the very thing that is needed for development is being fought over.

In development geography, geographers study spatial patterns in development. They try to find by what characteristics they can measure development by looking at economic, political and social factors. They seek to understand both the geographical causes and consequences of varying development. Studies compare More Economically Developed Countries (MEDCs) with Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs). Additionally variations within countries are looked at such as the differences between northern and southern Italy, the Mezzogiorno. Within development geography, sustainable development is also studied in an attempt to understand how to meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations to meet their own needs
