The term developed country is used to describe countries that have a high level of development according to some criteria. Which criteria, and which countries are classified as being developed, is a contentious issue and there is fierce debate about this. Economic criteria have tended to dominate discussions. One such criterion is income per capita and countries with high gross domestic product (GDP) per capita being described as developed countries. Another economic criterion is industrialization. Countries in which the tertiary and quaternary sectors of industry dominate being described as developed. More recently another measure, the Human Development Index, which combines with an economic measure, national income, with other measures, indices for life expectancy and education has become prominent.

Then if true, following your logic, they would prefer not to be as such and would choose alternative sources of income. But you see that this is not true. This is the first point I want to make. Secondly, just let me remind you of the famous so-called "red-light" district in Amsterdam. What percentage of the "workers" are actually Dutch you think? I doubt at most 10% maybe? Again, I don't want to speculate on numbers, just to give you… [cont.] Answered by ArArAt - Fri Mar 14 21:14:48 2008 What is the best English Speaking developed / developing country to live and work?
