Over the years, lots of countries have shown significant signs of improvement. This has led to a situation where job opportunities have increased tremendously thereby bringing about an improved standard of living in the lives of the people. For instance, China was not developed during the 70s and 80s and was one of the poorest countries in the world. However, as time went on, it has become one of most developed countries not just economically but also politically.

The major aim of this post is to have you exposed to the ten least developed countries in the world. They are ranked based on their Human Development Index ratings respectively. The variables that determine this are fertility rate, inflation rate, lifespan, quality of education and GDP per capita. If these are favorable, then such a country can be said to have high HDI.

South Sudan

This country has made its way to the list of the least developed countries due to what it has passed through in the past 3 – 4 decades. Its HDI has been recorded to be about 0.467 which according to experts is considerably low. The average lifespan of people in this country is about 55.7, and its GDP is around $2,332 PPP. South Sudan was ravaged by war, political and religious unrests for lots of years.

Senegal

Senegal is a West African country and has been discovered to be one of the least developed countries in the world after South Sudan. Its human development index (HDI) score is about 0.466. The quality of education the system offers has been recorded to be below average with its life expectancy found to be about 66.5 years. Also, its GDP is about $2,188 PPP.

It is vital to note that Senegal wasn’t popular until the year 2002 when it announced itself on the world stage with its exploits in the 2002 world cup held in South Korea/Japan.

Afghanistan

Afghanistan became known to the world as a result of the terrorist attack the United States of America experienced in the year 2001. Although it is still noted as a feared location in the act of terrorism; underdevelopment is another thing it is known for due to its low Human development index, life expectancy years and GDP PPP which are respectively 0.465, 60.4 years and $1,885. It is another country threatened by political and religious unrest.

Côte d’Ivoire

One major factor that determines the development of a country is its level of political and religious stability. A typical example of this fact is Côte d’Ivoire which was once peaceful until it started experiencing series of political problems which has affected its rate of development amongst other countries in the world.

After about four years of education, many students drop out of school for one reason or the other. Its HDI is about 0.462 while the life expectancy rate is an average of 51.5 years.

Malawi

Malawi is another African country with a low quality of education and individual income. Its HDI score is about 0.445 while the average life expectancy is about 62.8 years.
