I have no problem with helping them learn to be self sufficient.  I do have a problem with financing them ad infinitum.  Remember the old adage? "Give a man a fish and he can eat for a day.  Teach a man to fish, and he can eat for a lifetime."  Teach them, train them.  Let them learn how to take care of themselves.

Persons in countries need trade, to ensure an effective work-sharing and specialisation in solving tasks. Further, it stimulates development and give the people something to strive for and through this make progress. The dramatic improvement in living conditions for hundreds of millions of Asians would have been much more difficult without the Western world buiyng the products. Intellectual property in one place can lead to new inventions in other places. What would computers outside of US have been without MS and Intel and what would US have been without imported oil and imported cheap quality products? As people need this, countries, consisting of people, need it as well.

Developed nations are those countries with high standard of living for the generality of its populace.\nA developed country usually has good economic indices (in terms of per capita income, GDP, growth rate of the economy, level of unemployment etc)\nFor a country that wants to be "developed", it has to work towards improving those indices mentioned above.

It is true that more than half of the population is under poverty. What we have to make is to provide them the essential commodities at cheaper rate. Most of them should be provided 'pay for work' jobs as per Minimum wages Act. The health facilities and educational facilities shall be provided as nearer as to them. To supply them the essential commodities at cheaper rate, we have either to produce more the items listed as essential commodities or to import at cheaper rate as a welfare measure. Govt. should take all steps to control the inflation rate. It is a wonder that nowadays inflation rate is almost static but the rates of certain commodities are getting doubled/tripled.\n\nIf all these are provided to the population beneath the poverty line, somehow we will be successful in fighting 'poverty' in India.

For pure profits...an example being...Africa produces enough food to feed its self...but exports are essential to the economy so they sell there food to rich countries and have their own people suffer.

I'm no expert but I did a degree in Business and have read a lot of international development literature...\n\nFirst I would ask if financial wealth is the important thing - and if so, when is a country seen as wealthy? If you look at GDP this doesn't show the distribution of wealth very well.\n\nMany richer countries have progressed up the ladder from mainly primary to secondary to tertiary to mainly service jobs. Now in the UK for example, the banking area is well known and a lot of money comes out of this service industry, whereas before many people were employed in coal mining or manufacturing.\n\nIn other countries they may rely more on agriculture and mining and use their land in this way. What I would say is that it's probably a long road between relying mainly on land for your income and relying on knowledge services for your income. Many rich countries including England, France, and the USA progressed through the different stages by exploting human labour of other people (slavery, and colonisation for example), but now want to deny countries such as China their desire to attack human rights in the name of creating wealth.    \n\nIf I was a small country, I'd find my biggest asset, make the most of it and try to become self-sufficient. I would work first on infrastructure, primary health, primary education, stopping internal conflict, and increasing awareness of diseases if I was susceptible to that. I would look at building long term diplomatic relations with neighbouring states, and make decisions about who I want to ally with strategically.\n\nThis could have been a one sentence answer but I felt like writing. Good luck!

The system for child welfare in africa is horridly corrupted. The best solution is NOT TO SEND MONEY. Sending money allows for easy corruption. If you are going to send any aid, it should be in it's natural form: food, blankets, vaccines, books, etc. the best help would be through education, to teach the children and their parents how to stabilize their situation and economy. Teach them how to grow their own food, and create their own industry. This impowers the people to take care of themselves, rather than relying on corrupt leaders, etc.

There are not thousands of poor, illiterate children in India. There are millions. India is a huge country full of poverty and injustice. There is no way to super-quick fix that place up. Just so you know, they are agricultrually self-sufficient. This means that India grows enough food so that everyone there can get enough to eat. The problem is that it gets held in these store houses and never gets to the people that are starving. The best way to help India is to invest money in companies that are working at building up its infrastructure. That's my opinion, anyway. If you give money to its government, that is really bad, because most people over there in government are really corrupt. If you want, do a little research on the socio-economic history of India. I learned a lot and am really excited about it.

Low standard of living, under developed industrial base, low HDI... a lot of developing countries also tend to have large amounts of cheap labor (india for call centers, malasia for computer parts) which, despite common misconception, is actually very good for the developing countries.

the countries need to get their government under control and get some political stability that does not involve dictators.  then humanitarian aid (example:  against HIV/AIDS and hunger) can move through the countries safer and can expect not to be attacked by guerrilla fighters when helping women and children.

AGREE/DISAGREE\nCommunication had been there within a country and between countries and still developments have not been dramatic because many more things are needed too.Fast communication visual communication, oral communication and internet, TV, Radio etc etc have all been helpful to educate people and with so much of out sourcing two way communication needs more infrastructural developments.but it does not happen overnite.\nSame way any stock market crash, political uprisings elsewhere in the world has devastating effects on internal development of a country.\nWe can add on

One of the biggest problems I see with 3rd world gov'ts is corruption and abuse of power.  This is a cultural problem, not a social one, though it's impact is definitely social.  Unless and until this problem is admitted, dealt with, and resolved, no amount of money, aid, education, propaganda, king-making, nation-building, or peace-brokering will help the economy and thus the plight of the average citizen, at least long-term.\n\nAs far as "teaching" them to develop, one method that is reasonable and has been proven effective is to involve the average citizens themselves in the process of education, aid-distribution, and working smarter not harder.  This grassroots approach, seen in Bangladesh and some African locations, not only enlightens the masses and improves their condition, it replaces the traditional, pre-modern, ineffective, abusive, tragic methods and lifestyles with lasting positive change.

for me firstly we need education, then we need good agricultural technology. educations bring a new generation that can make new ways to solve problems, good agricultural will give more food to the poor. when poor and hungry citizen get their food, they will not develop dissent thus will not make new civil war. \n\nempty stomach will only bring people to loot.

Except for the poorest of third world countries, almost any  country in the world has some form of welfare implemented, either in the form of public healthcare, social security, or at least a retirement scheme, or a combination of these.\nSome countries tend to have more effective and protective welfare systems that others, however. (The US being among the worst in the first world, and the only industrialized nation that does not have a comprehensive public healthcare system.)
