- Nations dependent on a few export commodities are particularly affected.

- This dependence exposes countries to market volatility.

- A drop in global demand directly impacts national income.

- Lack of economic diversification limits innovation and resilience against economic disruptions.

- This makes it difficult for these nations to compete globally.

- Reliance on narrow export sectors can perpetuate persistent poverty and inequality.

Many poor countries rely on crops too get money as they are selective to their climate and can be made in large quantities.

However, its not just crops that countries rely on, they also rely on commodities such as metals or oil which can also have fluctuating prices so its risking to rely on one or two things.

to make their money. But that is very risky as some products can go up and down in price very quickly.

Countries like Malawi rely heavily on tobacco and the use of it is steadily declining. Affecting their economy greatly.

Also the climate can affect them so if they have a bad season, they are in trouble and at risk of increasing their poverty

Reasons for corruption:

This might sound bad, but very often in poor countries, people like police officers don't get paid enough so they have to resort to different methods of getting money.

Although in other cases people can be corrupt for self benefit and because they can.

• The economic and social development caused slavery continues to affect development in many African countries.

• The Transatlantic Slave Trade created depopulation and economic stagnation (lack of activity/growth).

With corruption we can see that money goes into of shore accounts instead of being funnelled into the country. tax that could be spent on health and education or the general betterment of the society is instead spent towards there leaders new car or mansion.

With conflict and war see that both the economy and the quality of life is heavily dampened as life comes to an end quicker and money is spent on purchasing weapons and healing injured soldiers and civilians.

conflict can also lead to manipulation from other countries benefiting of the war and leaders who can more easily take money from the people.

In 2023/24, the UK government spent arount £221 billion on health cares and £112 billion on education. These are the biggest items that the government spend on.
