What is a third world country?
A third world country is three times lower than a capitalist country (first world country). It has lower supplies and resources, normally a third world country has very greedy leaders and parliament, and that is why they have less than other countries because the leaders take all of the money and that is wrong!! Some of the third world countries are countries like: India, South America, Africa, and Asia.
Third World is a meaning that was first found in 1952 by a French demographer whose name is alfred sauvy. The third world countries have lots of diseases and they have things in there are, such as poverty, high birthrates, and economic dependence on the more advanced countries. The term means that the third world is sort of used in a way. The expression third world was used during the 1955 conference of Afro-Asian countries held in Bandung in Indonesia. In 1956 a group of social scientists associated with Sauvy’s National Institute of Demographic Studies, in Paris, published a book called Le Tiers-Monde. Three years later, the French economist Francois Perroux launched a new journal, on problems of underdevelopment, with the same title. By the end of the 1950’s the term was frequently employed in the French media to refer to the underdeveloped countries of places like Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Latin America.
