Cumulative Causation (improve and slows down development)

# data[].attributes.body
lets say a person starts a new industry that leads to the possibility of inventions and innovations but it also expands and multiplies and that increases local market growth and so its a cycle. as more jobs are generated the people, the more the periphery loses more labor and resources and those people go to the core of the industry and we lose people that do crucial jobs like cleaning and other things due to more opportunities this occurs in the US. However this can be a good thing because of The backwash effect and the spread effect that state: the backwash effect is that more resources and labor go into the industry and the spread effect is that the industry spreads wealth and knowledge because of the backwash effect. also occurs in the US

Colonialism: inferior (slow down development)

# data[].attributes.body
Countries under another's rule are safe during the colonial era however when the colony falls this country is left with nothing and no rulers this is because they didn't need one and so they did and the countries fell into chaos like saint Kitts and Nevis that fell into a drug war within itself and so Britain continued its rule with its consent.

# data[].attributes.body
when a country like Britain had a colony and ruled most of the world, it had access to most if not all resources which allows for fast growth When that happens the colonial power also provides the resources to another country and then it is able to make the raw materials into products that can be sold to other powers for a high price making the country rich improving SOL and QOL while speeding up the development process

Population Growth rate (slow down development)

Population Growth rate (slow down development)

# data[].attributes.body
when there are more people being born than ones dying the population increases and so the resource demands need to be met and so if they are not met the QOL and SOL are greatly decreased because they lack basic human needs like Egypt which suffers from lack of jobs and many countries will follow in the upcoming years. When the population grows it increase the dependency ratio this is shown in japan where the people are mostly elderly and so the children end up not getting children and working to be able to provide for the elderly.

with higher literacy rates DCs have more people that are able to read and write they are more likely to work in large industries therefore they have a higher SOL and better QOL This is seen in Ital with a GDP per capita is US$27,119 and an adult literacy rate of 98.5% and HDI of 0.934 while Sierra Leone has a GDP per capita of US$548and adult literacy rate of 29.6% and HDI of 0.298.

QOL- quality of life
SOL-standard of living
DC - developed country
LDC- less developed country
GDP - gross domestic product
HDI - human development index

# data[].attributes.body
In warmer areas there is more disease because the tropical regions hold more animals that transmit disease so it decrease QOL and SOL and slows down development this is seen in African countries because of a wide spread of malaria and cholera. Also there is a higher intensity of natural disasters in some regions compared to others with close to none like in Indonesia that experienced 29 natural disasters in 2020 and like Qatar in 2020 with the risk index having the value of 0.31 and was said to be the safest county worldwide.

getting resources like oil is very beneficial for a country's development because they could use it for their own needs or they could trade it off with other countries for resources they don't have. These are called raw materials which are resources that come from nature itself most of the world's oil reserves are in the middle east (66%) which the rest of the world has 9% in central and south America, 7% in Africa, 5% in north America and eastern Europe, 4% in Asia and Oceania, and 2% in Western Europe. the materials aren't distributed evenly between countries and so the countries can use them as profit and so they have the money to improve SOL and QOL by having a higher level of development

Wars/political conflict (slow down development)

# data[].attributes.body
when a country disagrees within itself or with another country wars can occur this would kill many people and disrupt most if not all businesses, then there would be no income and barely any jobs for the people this would also disrupt and destroy education and health services like schools and hospitals this is currently occurring in many places like Ukraine and Palestine. finally countries that are struggling after the war because they are trying to recover from the destruction are people like Syria because while there might still be a little conflict most places are peaceful but have no jobs or a very low source of income

# data[].attributes.body
The people see that they are working towards the same goals as the people in leadership goals which motivates them into working towards the good of the country like Brunei which put its oil profits into its people by investing in education and healthcare etc.
