LEDCs: Barriers to Development

The video discusses the challenges faced by less economically developed countries (LEDCs), where many people live on less than $15 a month without access to basic necessities like clean water, education, and healthcare. These countries struggle with barriers to development, such as health issues, natural disasters, and trade restrictions. Health problems reduce productivity, while frequent natural disasters hinder recovery and development. Additionally, trade blocs create economic barriers for LEDCs, exacerbating poverty and hindering progress.
