In the 1990s, developed countries agreed to double their aid to Africa by 2015. A report by the United Nations conference on Trade and Development noted that sceptics had raised concerns about how much effect the doubling of aid would have on output and incomes in Africa, if the quantity of other inputs such as human capacity and institutions were to remain fixed. It also pointed to the divisions between the sceptics with some suggesting the return would diminish when aid reached only 4% of GDP, while others thought they would diminish only when it had reached 50%. It should be added that even if the returns do begin to diminish, they could still be very important.In 1887, Cecil Rhodes created the De Beers Consolidated mines Company, which controlled about 90% of the total world supply of rough uncut diamonds with its South African mines.

An underdeveloped country is a country characterized by chronic widespread poverty and less economic development than other nations. Emerging markets, developing countries, and newly industrialized countries are terms that are often used interchangeably for an underdeveloped country. These countries have very low per capita income and many residents live in very poor conditions, including lacking access to education and health care. Additionally, underdeveloped countries have obsolete methods of production and social organization. These nations often experience high birth rates and high population growth, further contributing to their widespread poverty. The most accurate way to categorize the development of countries is by using the Human Development Index (HDI). The Human Development index looks at each country’s human development such as life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators. Human Development Index ranks countries on a scale from 0-1, from least developed to…
