Poorer countries are more affected by famines due to factors such as limited access to adequate food sources, inadequate infrastructure for food distribution, lack of financial resources for purchasing food, and political instability. Additionally, climate change and environmental degradation may also impact food production in these countries, exacerbating food insecurity.
Rural countries are not necessarily poor, but poorer countries tend to have a higher proportion of rural populations. Factors such as limited access to infrastructure, healthcare, education, and economic opportunities in rural areas can contribute to higher levels of poverty in these regions.
Poorer countries tend to have less robust infrastructure, which can increase their vulnerability to flooding. They may lack proper drainage systems, flood barriers, and early warning systems. Additionally, impoverished populations often live in more flood-prone areas due to limited resources and land options.
Developing countries are nations with lower levels of industrialization and lower standards of living compared to developed countries. They often struggle with issues such as poverty, high infant mortality rates, and lack of access to education and healthcare. These countries are working to improve their economic, social, and political conditions to catch up with more developed nations.
There does seem to be a pattern showing that the richer countries are in the north, and the poorer countries in the south. While there are some clear exceptions (Australia) it does seem that North America, Europe and Japan are far economically superior to South America, Africa and the Pacific. Perhaps it is because the people of the European region were among the first to develop superior technology and general civilisation. They also introduced these traits to other countries, particularly northern (U.S. and such). This is the only possible reason I can think of. If there are any additions to this, they would be greatly appreciated.
The number may not be greater, but the effect can be. Poor countries have poor flood-control methods and general emergency response capabilities, so more people are affected than in rich countries.
more affluent ones
More Developed countries are consumers as they have more technology so they can focus workers on services and buy from poorer countries less developed
because the infrastructure of buildings etc is not as good as in wealthier countries!
Yes more than north america.
Rural countries are not necessarily poor, but poorer countries tend to have a higher proportion of rural populations. Factors such as limited access to infrastructure, healthcare, education, and economic opportunities in rural areas can contribute to higher levels of poverty in these regions.
it depends maybe in the poorer countries but more advanced probably no
The richer countries have better sporting programs.

America has cell phones while other countries have never even heard of them. Some richer countries has almost all brand-name stores with a few second hand stores while poorer countries have almost completely second hand stores to buy food and such. Richer countries has grocery stores that have everything in it and they can order more, poorer countries have grocery stores that you buy everything you can because you don't know if it will be ordered again or when it will be ordered again.
Yes, it is happend in only capitalisum economy.
This is almost never the case. Usually droughts plays the biggest roles in famines.
It increases it in poorer countries and puts downward pressure on population in richer developed countries. this is having the effect of cultures from poor overpopulated countries emigrating to the developed countries making them far more cosmopolitan then any time in history.
