How did LEDCs get into debt with MEDCs?
ledcs ask medcs for money if they need it but over time, medcs charge more and more interest and so the ledcs can't pay it back. medcs also bargain for their resources so when the ledcs are left in debt, with no control over their resources, they end up in poverty.
Why are there more people living in LEDCs than MEDCs?
becuase of eternity life

Is Somalia a medcs or ledcs country?
LEDC because it has faming in it and ...
Why are new technologies available more in MEDCs than LEDCs?
Because MEDCs have more money to spend on these technologies.
Why is it good for MEDCs to have TNC headquarters in their country?
One reason is because people are more educated in MEDCs compared to LEDCs - HQs need suffieciently educated employees to manage their money. People in LEDCs are not so well educated and so are more suited to mass production in TNCs.
Why cities LEDCs are growing faster than cities in MEDCs?
Because LEDCs are generally weaker than MEDCS so in a general term we are to see the weak rise compared to the strong, cause you cannot get stronger.
Examples of medcs and ledcs?
MEDCS: Australia, the UK, the USA, Switzerland, Canada, France, New Zealand, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Japan , Republic of Korea LEDCS: Bangladesh, Mali, Sudan, Peru, Fiji, Cambodia, Nigeria, Egypt, Zimbabwe
Why are people in MEDC's having less children than people in LEDC's?
Birth rate refers to how many children are born per 1000 people, so higher birth rates result from anything influencing this 'choice'. reasons why LEDCs have a higher birth rate are both due to a falling birth rate in many MEDCs as well as increasing birth rates in LEDCs. One: sex and age - If women are within child-bearing age (18-25 I suppose is accurate) they are more likely to have children and less likely to lose the child. This can explain differences between LEDCs and MEDCs as in LEDCs there is a greater proportion of younger women than in MEDCs in their population, which will in turn increase births per 1000 people. Two: Economic reasons. In MEDCs less people are having children, as they give an 'opportunity cost' (i.e. if a family have a child they may not be able to move into a larger house, for example, due to needing the money for raising the child). In LEDCs children can instead be seen as an economic asset, particularly in rural agrarian cultures where more children means an extra pair of hands to work the land. Both are significant; the first in deterring births in MEDCs and the second incentivising them in LEDCs. Three: Social reasons. Firstly, there is evidence to support that with gender equality fertility rates fall, thus birth rates also fall. It is the same with education of women. Both give women a choice on whether or not to have children, making it less of a part of life, which will inevitably lead to some deciding against having children. This is less the case in LEDCs, explaining why more women have children here than in MEDCs. Secondly, it can also be seen favourably for men to have a lot of children, pushing both men and women to have more children to achieve a higher social status (the case in many parts of Africa). Thirdly, if expectations are that half of your children will die before adulthood, you are likely to have more to ensure the family can continue - with higher infant mortality in LEDCs a lot of women choose to have more children to ensure that at least one survives (which is not the case in MEDCs). Finally, contraception plays a vital role both in availibility and willingness - certain cultures will frown upon contraception for religious reasons (many of these in LEDCs), and LEDCs are less likely to invest in family planning, so people are less aware of measures they can take to have less children.
Why are LEDCs exporters of raw materials?
Because in most MEDCs they have either run out of what was available or didnt have much in the first place, such as Japan.
How might the effects of volcanic eruption and erthquakes be reduced in medcs and ledcs?
In both MEDCs and LEDCs, preparedness and early warning systems can help mitigate the effects of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Building codes and infrastructure that adhere to seismic standards can also reduce damage. In LEDCs, international aid and support for disaster response and recovery efforts can be crucial due to limited resources.
Charities that sponsor LEDC countries?
oxfam is one of them. but there are many more that support LEDCs like child line(also support MEDCs) The Railway children(supporting children that have to beg and live at Railways) i don't know if this is a charity but it helps LEDCs; Fair Trade which is growing rapidly through many MEDCs.
