Developing country? - Page 3

Question comes how does one define a developing nation, is it economic growth? OR per capita income? OR happiness index of citizens? OR increase in education/special skills? or something else?

All the point which i have highlighted, are the cause and consequence of economic growth of a country. if the per capita income of a person is high, it leads to the expansion of his needs, which are fulfilled by resources, now theses resources cannot be used raw, they are processed, and to process them industries and factories are opened up, and this is how the process leads to economic growth. Increase in education or investment in education leads to more number of children going to school, which returns higher yields in the future(i.e they get better jobs, and therefore better income) and thus leads to economic growth.

happiness index is the consequence of economic growth because more the economic growth, more job vacancies will be there, be it the primary sector or the tertiary sector or casual unskilled labour etc.

India is defined as a developing country because we have many natural resources like bauxite, iron ore, copper ore etc. but we have not developed the technology to process these resources and neither does the government have the money which can be invested in such projects.

but since our GDP(gross domestic product) has been rising and more job oppurtunities have opened up, we consider india as a developing nation

...if u go by the studies conducted, they disprove the point u mentioned here. according to one such study, bangladesh is the top scorer in happiness index😆

But here I am only talking about happiness in the context of economic growth. Ofcourse there can be various reasons for happiness and not just money. Maybe you are right about Bangladesh being the happiest country but there can be various reasons for it. Bangladesh does not have face the constant threat from Pakistan, it does not have unstable relations with china(infact they seem to be emerging as friends), we don't get to hear about a bomb blast or a terrorist attack every 2nd day like we do about Jammu and Kashmir.

Economics is not my subject and my knowlege is infact near zero in it. so I am writing only what I think about growth .

Every developed nation need to be a developing nation simultaneously. A process of constant growth in terms of technology and social conditions. Any kind of stagnation throw the country out of the race of development.

I think it is nothing to do with the wealth of a nation , I don't know what they call themselves but I think most Arab countries are rich , but they are not developed and they are not developing either.

wow, people are equating state of public toilets with the development(I am kinda confused now they are backing off too 😆 )

if anything that examples tells you about the faith of a govt in its people

Developed nation=automatic flush toilets=lack of trust of govt towards its people's intelligence to use a flush after usage(and they have to still put up signs please dont flush diapers/hand towels they wont flush
😆 )

Developing nation=manual flush toilets=the govt still has hope in its people

Next example 😉

It's more like "dig your own toilet" - too much faith in its people 😉😆

I think there's a difference between "fancy" and "clean" public toilets.

Waisey bhi, the public toilet post was made keeping in mind the fact that basic infrastructure and amneties are not as good in developing countries as they are in developed countries.

Scarcity of water and over population do result in patheticly filthy state of many public amneties like the public toilets or the waiting rooms at railway stations or the railway platforms.
