A least developed country (LDC) is a country that, according to the United Nations, exhibits the lowest indicators of socioeconomicdevelopment, with the lowest Human Development Index ratings of all countries in the world. The concept of LDCs originated in the late 1960s and the first group of LDCs was listed by the UN in its resolution 2768 (XXVI) of 18 November 1971. A country is classified as a Least Developed Country if it meets three criteria:
Poverty – adjustable criterion based on GNI per capita averaged over three years. As of 2015 a country must have GNI per capita less than US $1,035 to be included on the list, and over $1,242 to graduate from it.
Economic vulnerability (based on instability of agricultural production, instability of exports of goods and services, economic importance of non-traditional activities, merchandise export concentration, handicap of economic smallness, and the percentage of population displaced by natural disasters)
A developed country, industrialized country, or "more economically developed country" (MEDC), is a sovereign state that has a highly developed economy and advanced technological infrastructure relative to other less industrialized nations. Most commonly, the criteria for evaluating the degree of economic development are gross domestic product (GDP), gross national product (GNP), the per capita income, level of industrialization, amount of widespread infrastructure and general standard of living. Which criteria are to be used and which countries can be classified as being developed are subjects of debate.
The development challenges of the least developed countries in 4 charts
1.1 billion people live in least developed countries, or LDCs.
They continue to face major obstacles that block their sustainable development, including soaring debt, export marginalization, energy poverty and climate vulnerability.
The 5th UN Conference on Least Developed Countries is a chance to redefine their development strategies, and get LDCs the support they truly need to tackle their sustainable development challenges.
