I believe that overpopulation is likely the cause of an underdeveloped country. I suppose it is a chicken or the egg question though. it happens because People in LEDCs have a lot of children on the basis that most of them won't survive and some won't reach adulthood. But most do and increase that family this happening on a major scale which can add up to huge problem. This causes a problem for the family with food, shelter and care, but it causes a problem for the country. Like another mouth to feed and more land to have to spare for a home rather than farming and other problems. This seems all quite minor but can happen together in huge quantities so that the country looses a lot of each year.It may also happen because of immigration this happens in generally richer countries. It happens because the MEDCs have great resources and the people can come over and have a better Homeland or to avoid starvation or escape revolution and war. People also move to escape religious or political persecution. But a generally the main reason is always been economic opportunity e.g. the search for better land or a better job.

Why do all countries not have equal currency?

Having a common currency requires some agreements between different countries; apparently, for this to work, it also requires individual countries taking certain steps to have a stable economy. All this is a bit tricky while there is no central world government; but there are already cases where several countries share a common currency; the best-known case is the Euro, used in most European countries. It can be expected that at some time in the future, all countries in the world will share a common currency, but this won't happen overnight.

Will the UK leaving the European Union EU affect government relations across Europe?

It will have some effects, but not a lot. The European Union is an organisation. The UK leaving will not end their connections with other countries in Europe that are members of the European Union or other European countries. It will take time to see what the results are. There is still some uncertainty as to what will happen next.

Under developed nations or another term, developing nations can improve themselves by a number of ways.
