Not really called third world countries any more, modern term is developing nations.  They were colonised by England, so cricket and football was introduced at the school and college level.  The climate lends itself to cricket more then football.  They are the highest paying team sports in those countries so they will continue to attract a lot of talented athletes.

This is an Out-dated term used for the countries which were not with US or USSR during the Cold War. Now a days it is used variedly.. For Developing Countries or Non - English Speaking ( Latin American or Asian/African ) Countries. Today the term is used differently to according to ones own knowledge of what it means.

What developing countries need is honest investment.  The Western world has often exploited these countries for vital resources, such as oil or gold.  If companies and governments were to honestly give money to public works projects and infrastructure development, then these countries would become economically sounder.  These countries also need education; the workers in these countries don't have enough education to effectively plan and participate in a modern economy.

Consumers in developed countries have more disposable income and so the demand for services is higher, developing countries have low capitol and labour costs and so are attractive for manufacturing companies. I believe these are the main reasons, but there is a lot more to your question than meets the eye.

Ghana is a developing country borderlining on poverty. The difference between industrial and developing countries are ,a developing country still has yet to establish enough exports to sustain it's own economy.

In the last decade, we have seen the birth of terms such as "4th world countries"...these are countries that are so under-developed that they cannot sustain their economies under any circumstances. Nigeria is still a sustainable economy since it has some wealth in natural resources like oil & gas.......\n\nI think know, the poorer countries are those that are recently emerging from civil war e.g. rwanda, somalia, sierra leone etc...their infrastructures is very impaired as a result of the war.

In many of the countries they are not distributing the aid AT ALL.  In some they are and those economies tend to outperform the other ones over the long term.

The economies of some developing countries can handle the population growth. And they need younger workers.

I believe it's a matter of "LEADERS"... most developing country are VERY rich in natural resources but alas they have phony leaders, like Egypt for example, it was rich in agriculture, in energy resources, in almost everything... but it has a phony leader working as a puppet for the World Leaders. And the same goes for most of Africa, they're rich with diamonds and gold and many things that if were managed correctly, Africa could've been the world leader... but alas, they're all puppets.\n\nSo a developing country is a country with a phony leader and good natural resources, and once the resources diminish, it becomes a poor country below development standards.

This question has multiple answers, as there are different types of "developing" countries.\n\nThe top strong, consistently developing countries are:\nChina, Mexico, India, Brazil, South Africa, Turkey, the Philippines, Egypt, much of South America, Malaysia, Thailand, and a few others.\n\nInconsistently developing countries include:\nMost countries in Africa, Central America, and the Caribbean (except Jamaica); much of the Arab world; most of Southeast Asia (except Singapore, Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia and Thailand); 76% of the world's nations fall under this category\n\nThen there are "developing" countries in long-term civil wars or dictatorships:\nHaiti, Somalia, Sudan, Burma, and even North Korea

Well, the improvements vary by city of course, and some cities in the developing world are not quite the same as cities in the west, but generally yes, life has improved.  We don't have open sewers running in the street, you can walk along the street without someone pouring their "night waste" on your head, bubonic plague isn't rampant, no rats chewing on your toes at night, central heating and/or AC in many places, the majority of the population isn't suffering from lead poisoning, average life span is far older than 30, etc.  Clinics and doctors and medication available.  \n\nWith that said, many improvements still need to take place, especially in third world countries where millions still live in poverty and misery, but overall there is no comparison between classical times and now.

Generally, low developing countries are poor ... not just the people, but the government itself. And for the government to meet its obligations, it often simply makes more money -- but this additional currency leads to the devaluation of the existing currency and leads to inflation.

Corruption bleeds into every part of a nation.  Latin American countries are often teh victims of corrupt officials, which decreases their ability to form a working economy.  Every prosperous nation has something in common- in the begining, there was much strife, and the leaders sacraficed for the good of the people.  The nation's citizens work together for a common goal.  Free and prosperous economies don't develop in places where every individual is out for themselves.
