Document Summary
The least developed countries have greater internal inequality. The countries that exist on the planet have different economies, different populations in different degrees of development and, in conclusion, different problems. Historical events and government decisions may have hindered or facilitated the resolution of these problems from the resources of each country. Some countries have managed to solve many of their basic problems and offer their population a certain general welfare state; these are the developed countries. Others, on the other hand, have yet to do so or have failed in their attempts, which is why they are known as underdeveloped countries or developing countries. However, there is no consensus on what, precisely, are the specific aspects or problems that distinguish developed countries from those that do not. It is generally understood that they live better or have less serious problems, or that certain minimum conditions are guaranteed.
