what is third wold country?

Answer 1

All the ones with out an 'r' in world.

Answer 2

Third World is a term first coined in 1952 by French demographer Alfred Sauvy to distinguish nations that aligned themselves with neither the West nor with the Soviet Bloc during the Cold War. Today, however, the term is frequently used to denote nations with a low UN Human Development Index (HDI), independent of their political status (meaning that the PRC, Russia and Brazil, all of which were very strongly aligned during the Cold War, are often termed third world). However, there is no objective definition of Third World or "Third World country" and the use of the term remains controversial. Some in academia see it as being out of date, colonialist, othering and inaccurate; its use has continued, however In general, Third World countries are not as industrialized or technologically advanced as OECD countries, and therefore in academia, the more politically correct term to use is "developing nation".

Answer 3

Do you mean "Third World Country"?
Please see the webpages for more details on Third World Country.
First world is Eastern Europe and North America. (now Europe and North America)
Second world-Former Soviet Union and the other communist countries. The Second World has lost its relevance after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Third World- Rest of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Answer 4

The Human Development Index (HDI) is published annually by the UN. It measures the average achievements in a country in three basic dimensions of human development:

A long and healthy life
as measured by life expectancy at birth.

Knowledge
as measured by the adult literacy rate (with two-thirds weight) and the combined primary,secondary and tertiary gross enrolment ratio (with one-third weight).

A decent standard of living
as measured by GDP per capita* (PPP US$).

So, a third-world country is one at the bottom of these three measures (like Haiti). A first world country is one at the top (like Sweden). Second world countries are the vast majority in the middle, who have some industrial infrastructure and are not stuck in dire poverty (e.g., India).
