There are numerous indicators for whether a country is developed or not. Some of them are explained below. One of the main indicators of a developing country is its political stability. This is its choice of government and how well its type of government is run. Most developed countries have a democracy such as England and New Zealand. Most developing countries have a dictatorship such as Zimbabwe and The Democratic Republic of the Congo (it isn’t democratic). The reason dictatorships are often found in developing countries is simple really. Dictatorships need the army to maintain power, for the army to be loyal it wants lots of cool gear, so any money that the country makes goes towards weaponry. Another main indicator is the type of economy. This is it’s way of making a profit or the type of jobs available. Most developed countries have a wide range of jobs available. These could spread from being a Bank Manager to being a Toilet Cleaner. These jobs are needed because the developed country has a good infrastructure. A developing country doesn’t have a good infrastructure and so doesn’t have enough jobs for the population.
