Is the Philippines an medcs or ledcs?
MEDC becuase its more economic developed country.
Why are people in MEDC's having less children than people in LEDC's?
Birth rate refers to how many children are born per 1000 people, so higher birth rates result from anything influencing this 'choice'. reasons why LEDCs have a higher birth rate are both due to a falling birth rate in many MEDCs as well as increasing birth rates in LEDCs. One: sex and age - If women are within child-bearing age (18-25 I suppose is accurate) they are more likely to have children and less likely to lose the child. This can explain differences between LEDCs and MEDCs as in LEDCs there is a greater proportion of younger women than in MEDCs in their population, which will in turn increase births per 1000 people. Two: Economic reasons. In MEDCs less people are having children, as they give an 'opportunity cost' (i.e. if a family have a child they may not be able to move into a larger house, for example, due to needing the money for raising the child). In LEDCs children can instead be seen as an economic asset, particularly in rural agrarian cultures where more children means an extra pair of hands to work the land. Both are significant; the first in deterring births in MEDCs and the second incentivising them in LEDCs. Three: Social reasons. Firstly, there is evidence to support that with gender equality fertility rates fall, thus birth rates also fall. It is the same with education of women. Both give women a choice on whether or not to have children, making it less of a part of life, which will inevitably lead to some deciding against having children. This is less the case in LEDCs, explaining why more women have children here than in MEDCs. Secondly, it can also be seen favourably for men to have a lot of children, pushing both men and women to have more children to achieve a higher social status (the case in many parts of Africa). Thirdly, if expectations are that half of your children will die before adulthood, you are likely to have more to ensure the family can continue - with higher infant mortality in LEDCs a lot of women choose to have more children to ensure that at least one survives (which is not the case in MEDCs). Finally, contraception plays a vital role both in availibility and willingness - certain cultures will frown upon contraception for religious reasons (many of these in LEDCs), and LEDCs are less likely to invest in family planning, so people are less aware of measures they can take to have less children.
Do tsunamis affect medc or ledc?
The boxing day tsunami affected mainly LEDCs such as Bangladesh Sri Lanka and the maldives. However Newly Industalised countries were also affected such as India and Indonesia. MEDCs are better prepared anyway.
Do all volcanoes erupt lava?
Lava emissions are found with all active volcanoes, although some volcano emit more lave than others.
How do you tell if a country is ledc or medc?
An LEDC is a lower economically developed country, so basically, if a country is very poor and many people in the population who are poor, it is an LEDC, like Britain and the USA are MEDCs (more economically developed countries), yet Kenya and Bangladesh are LEDCs.
How did LEDCs get into debt with MEDCs?
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.
Why are new technologies available more in MEDCs than LEDCs?
Because MEDCs have more money to spend on these technologies.
Is the Philippines an medcs or ledcs?
MEDC becuase its more economic developed country.
Why are there more people living in LEDCs than MEDCs?
becuase of eternity life
Why is it good for MEDCs to have TNC headquarters in their country?
One reason is because people are more educated in MEDCs compared to LEDCs - HQs need suffieciently educated employees to manage their money. People in LEDCs are not so well educated and so are more suited to mass production in TNCs.
Why is solar energy commonly used in Europe?
Most countries in Europe are MEDCs (More Economically Developed Countries) and therefore can afford to invest in solar power. Also MEDCs cause much of the CO2 emissions so they want to cut down and can cut down more than LEDCs (Less Economically Developed Countries)
In France is it subsistence farming or commercial farming?
A bit of both but generally commercial, subsistence farming is more common in LEDCs now a days and MEDCs usually have commercial farming.
Charities that sponsor LEDC countries?
oxfam is one of them. but there are many more that support LEDCs like child line(also support MEDCs) The Railway children(supporting children that have to beg and live at Railways) i don't know if this is a charity but it helps LEDCs; Fair Trade which is growing rapidly through many MEDCs.
What is LEDCs and MEDCs?
LEDCs are non-industrial nationsMedc's are industrialized nationsMEDC- MORE ECONOMICALLY DEVELOPED COUNTRIESLEDC- LESS ECONOMICALLY DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
How can an LEDC become and MEDC?
Consistent harvests (considering the fact that most LEDCs rely on the primary industry as a basis for their economy) which would require a lot of luck. Fewer floods and droughts would allow LEDCs to consistently sell their produce and in time raise their price, receive more money for their goods, and be able to start developing the raw materials they extract from the ground, and sell those for even more money. Also, this way, they wouldn't have to waste money on buying processed goods from MEDCs. So basically, they would have to claw their way out of the primary industry which would result in much for the MEDCs. My colleague will explain what would happen to MEDCs

What MEDCs have that LEDCs don't have?
MEDC's (More economically developed countries) have hospitals, schools, industrial estates, medicines, shelter, plenty of food and water, houses to live in and technology. There are many more things we have that LEDC's don't these are just a few ideas!
