Developing country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The United Nations allows each nation to decide for itself whether it will be designated as "undeveloped" or "developing" (though many economists and other observers ignore the UN rule about self-designation). The Third world does not include the nations of the liberal West ("First World") nor of the Soviet bloc ("Second World"), and to some extent were ignored because they could not throw strong support behind either. Developing countries are in general countries which have not achieved a significant degree of industrialization relative to their populations, and which have a low standard of living. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Developing_nation

International Energy Outlook - World Energy and Economic Outlook Industrial energy consumption in the developing countries was nearly 40 percent of the worldwide industrial sector total in 2001, and their share is projected to increase to almost one-half of all industrial sector energy consumption by 2025 as a result of the more rapid economic growth expected in the region. The nations of Eastern Europe are expected to continue a general shift toward services and lighter industries as the transition to market economies continues, with tourism services expected to become increasingly important. Thirty-one of the ratifying nations are the so-called Annex I countries, which are required to limit or reduce their greenhouse gases relative to 1990 levels under the terms of the Protocol. www.eia.doe.gov /oiaf/ieo/world.html

Developed country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cyprus, Malta, and Slovenia — among the developed countries, but these mostly former-Communist countries are rather newly industrialized nations and some of them (such as Latvia, Lithuania and Poland) remain significantly less affluent than EU-15 countries. In the United Nations system there is no established convention for the designation of "developed" and "developing" countries or areas. South Korea, another relatively newly industrialized country, does not consider itself as developed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Developed_nation

Industrialized Nations Under Pressure at UN Global Warming Gathering -- 10/26/1999 Officials from the U.S. and European Union countries differed Monday on one of several "flexibility mechanisms" built into the process - the right of industrialized nations to buy pollution "credits" from developing countries. (CNSNews.com) - The United States and other industrialized countries are coming under pressure at a major United Nations conference on global warming underway in Germany, with both the host nation and the UN calling for a deadline on implementing a pact aimed at reducing pollution. Controversially, the Kyoto Protocol makes no demands on most of the countries of the world, which are defined as "developing," but include such rapidly industrializing countries as China. www.cnsnews.com /ViewPrint.asp?Page=\Enviro\archive\ENV19991026a.html

[SafeClimate] Library Government and Policy A History of Climate Change Negotiations At COP-1 in Berlin, Germany, in March 1995, the participating nations issued the so-called Berlin Mandate, which acknowledged that the voluntary approach had failed and agreed that there would have to be binding commitments by the industrialized countries to reduce their emissions of heat-trapping gases sometime after the year 2000. Nevertheless, these steps forward were opposed by some powerful members of the developing country bloc, which consider it the moral duty of industrialized nations to begin by reducing their emissions at home rather than engaging in international emissions trading and pushing for limits on developing countries. In an interim negotiating meeting in Bonn, Germany, in March 1997, the Europeans then took the lead by offering specific targets, proposing that all industrialized nations be required to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases by 15 percent from 1990 levels by the year 2010. www.safeclimate.net /newsandlibrary/article_detail.php?id=21

ES&T 11/97 Nations Seek "Fair Greenhouse Gas Treaty in Kyoto In addition to admitting that most of the greenhouse gases have been generated by sources in industrialized nations, participants at the Rio convention realized that the increase in fossil fuel use in developing nations is tied to fulfilling basic human needs, said Reid. But they also agreed that these nations would need financial assistance and technology transfer from industrialized nations to control emissions without sacrificing economic development, said Walter Reid, vice-president of the World Resources Institute, who attends the international meetings as a nonvoting party. As part of the Rio pact, the country leaders, recognizing the great disparity between the economies of developing and industrialized nations, agreed to "common but differential responsibilities" from the developing nations. pubs.acs.org /hotartcl/est/97/nov/nations.html

INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS WILL FAIL IN EFFORTS TO KEEP GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AT ACCEPTABLE LEVELS BY 2015, SECOND COMMITTEE TOLD Efforts by industrialized nations to keep greenhouse gas emissions at an acceptable level would fall short by 2015, when developing-country emissions would rise to the same dangerous levels, the Second Committee (Economic and Financial) heard today as it continued its consideration of sustainable development. Asking Caribbean countries merely to open their economies and expose themselves directly to competition from industrialized countries, based on the belief that trade expansion would certainly occur, was cruel, he said.  Developing countries would be emitting as much of those gases as industrial countries by 2015, and the efforts of industrial countries alone, within the framework of the Kyoto Protocol, would not be enough to reduce emissions to an acceptable level. www.un.org /news/press/docs/2004/gaef3083.doc.htm

006960.shtml If all of these nations had participated in TIMSS 2003, it seems likely that U.S. performance at the eighth-grade level would have been considerably further below the average of industrialized nations than it already was. If we carry this comparison to the final year of high school using the 1998 12th-grade TIMSS results (the most recent available), we discover that America’s top students placed last in combined science and math achievement among all the industrialized nations for which data were available. How did the United States perform compared to other industrialized nations — that is, the top 40 nations in terms of per-capita income? commonsensewonder.com /mtarchives/006960.shtml

The Globalist Global Economy -- The Return of the “Giant Sucking Sound”? Yet, on a cumulative basis the net trade deficit of the developing nations with the industrialized countries totaled a staggering $754 billion in the 1990s. The bottom line is this: Contrary to the warnings of Ross Perot, we should not think of the developing nations as simply sources of global supply while failing to recognize their potential role as a source of global demand. The developing nations shifted from being a source of global supply — that is, net exporters — in the 1980s to a source of global demand — that is, net importers — in the 1990s. www.theglobalist.com /DBWeb/printStoryId.aspx?StoryId=3502

Economic growth rates of industrialized and developing nations, global economic adjustments, and labour markets "The fastest-growing part of the world economy is in the developing world, not in the industrialized nations," said Robert Miller, senior consultant to the International Finance Corporation (IFC), an arm of the World Bank. Traditionally, international aid and development organizations as well as economic think tanks have divided the "have" and "have not" nations into two camps: the relatively rich industrialized nations of the North and the poorer, less-developed nations of the South. UN economist Barry Herman noted that the level of development assistance flowing from North to South is dropping, leaving countries that are unattractive to foreign investors — such as nations in post-conflict situations, or those where per capita income is very low — in dire straits. archive.idrc.ca /books/reports/1996/33-01e.html

Press Release (ILO/96/10): LABOUR UNCERTAINTY REIGNS IN ALL INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS LOWEST-PAID WORKERS HIT THE HARDEST - Public information A mutually supporting set of macroeconomic, structural and sectoral policies are needed to meet this twofold challenge, along with a commitment by fiscal and monetary actors at both the national and international level to keep employment promotion as a central focus of their action. • The national labour and employer organizations must be able to demonstrate convincingly to their rank and file the benefits to be derived from the compromises. G7 employment is now rising more rapidly than their labour force, but if present trends continue, industrialized countries are unlikely to absorb the backlog of unemployment currently confronting them under present policies, the report adds. www.ilo.org /public/english/bureau/inf/pr/1996/10.htm

The Progress of Nations 1998 - Industrialized Countries Throughout most of the industrialized world, the right to housing is treated as nothing more than the statement of a worthy, albeit distant, goal. There are a number of industrialized countries, especially in Europe, that are ever more imaginative in seeking solutions. Delegates to the Second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II, Istanbul, 1996) and those to the World Food Summit (Rome, 1996) laboured long and hard to win grudging endorsements of the rights to housing and to food, respectively. www.unicef.org /pon98/indust3.htm

Asia Times: Industrialized nations grilled over global warming The treaty must be ratified by 55 countries, including industrialized nations responsible for 55 percent of the carbon dioxide emitted in 1990, for it to become effective. Action Climat Mondial, a network of environmentalist non-governmental organizations (NGOs), joined the call for industrialized countries to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, which it describes as "the sole legal international instrument to engage the world community towards massive reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions". It urged developed nations to make the Marrakesh talks the last stage in the ongoing process before the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol in the World Earth Summit on Sustained Development (Rio+10), to be held in Johannesburg in September 2002. www.atimes.com /oceania/CK08Ah02.html

Morgan Stanley Developing nations’ imports from industrialized nations more than doubled between 1989 and 1995, rising from $503 billion in 1989, the year the Berlin Wall was breached, to more than $1 trillion in 1995.

Challenge: International labor standards and child labor What all this means is that, if the exports of these countries are cut off, in all likelihood their imports from industrialized nations will shrink as well, making the net effect on the industrialized nations negative instead of positive, though of course some specific sectors may gain. In 1995 Korea's exports to the industrialized nations constituted 12.3 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP), while its imports from the industrialized nations were 13.9 percent of its GDP.(1) In brief, relative to industrialized nations, Korea ran a trade deficit of 1.6 percent. But ILS is not a unique set of prescriptions, and the portents are that the kind of ILS policy being debated by the industrialized nations, if adopted, will be detrimental to the poorest nations. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1093/is_5_42/ai_56057299

QUAKER ECO-BULLETIN #10 October 1999 Participation by all industrialized nations was deemed essential, so each nation agreed to its own target, and targets vary widely from country to country. The most crucial of the deferred decisions are how and when developing nations will commit to limiting their emissions, how the flexibility mechanisms for achieving reductions will actually be implemented, and how the agreements will be enforced. Most other nations, led by the European Union, want to require that the major part of a nation's reductions to be achieved domestically. www.quakersbucks.org /qeb/qeb10.htm

Grandfather International Comparison Report - by MWHodges Looking to the rising part of both curves, it can be seen other industrial nations started their rise before the US, but then the US 'put on the steam' of government spending at an even faster rate - - as if the U.S. was trying to 'catch-up' with the spending ratios of others. The upper black curve is the average of the 16 major industrial nations, including the USA from 1870 to 1996. Let's restate: all major industrialized national world economies are significantly (5-10 times) more government-spending-dependent than ever before in their peace-time history - - and that increase is almost entirely social entitlement spending. home.att.net /~mwhodges/intl-spend.htm

CLINTON RUSHING UNITED STATES INTO A U.N. CLIMATE CONTROL TREATY THAT WILL BE FIRST STEP TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER GOAL TO DESTROY INDUSTRIALIZED ECONOMIES AND SOCIETIES!! - Christian Updates - New World Order. But, then we have a huge outrage occurring, when we see that not only are OPEC nations going to be exempt from this treaty, they are asking that we Industrialized nations reimburse them for their monetary losses when we don't buy their fuel anymore! Please stop to think about the economies of most of these nations: most of them are not as Industrialized as the United States, Europe, and Japan, and none of them is perceived as consuming nearly as much as we do. What this means is that the non-Industrialized nations are totally exempt from this terrible proposal. www.cuttingedge.org /news/N1110.cfm

Births to teen mothers generally constituted a higher percentage of all births in the states than in many of the industrialized nations. That's true virtually everywhere, but according to a new report released today by the Education Department's National Center for Education Statistics, the link between education and earnings is stronger in the U.S. than in most other countries. www.ed.gov /PressReleases/08-1996/states.html

Fewer Boys Born In Industrialized Nations The authors call for additional studies about birth rates by state, region and nation. The researchers suggest there is a link, and theorize that prenatal exposures may affect men's overall health and development. Researchers say this change may be tied to increases in male reproductive health problems. afgen.com /popula24.html

washingtonpost.com: Industrialized Nations Act to Reassure World That injection of money into the nation's financial system was more than double the largest previous daily action, which occurred in the mid-1980s. In a joint statement, the finance ministers and central bank chiefs of the Group of Seven nations said, "We are committed to ensuring that this tragedy will not be compounded by disruption to the global economy," and they added that they "stand ready to take further action as necessary." The European Central Bank provided banks in its 12-nation region with an unexpected $63 billion, and the Bank of Japan added $17 billion. www.washingtonpost.com /ac2/wp-dyn/A20965-2001Sep12?language=printer

Doom, Doom, Doom & Doom Issue no.1: ‘The Destruction of the Earth's Photosynthetic Capacity’ Green organizations in the over-industrialized nations are petrified of confronting this issue because most of them know that these Forests are going to have to be planted in the over-industrialized nations and they don’t want to lose their over-paid jobs by confronting their governments over this issue. For most of the period after the second world war there was a tripartite division of the world into the first world (the over industrialized nations); the second world (soviet bloc countries); and the third world (the rest of the world). However, since the industrial revolution the over-industrialized nations have caused so much atmospheric pollution and ecological devastation they are not merely preventing the return of the next ice age but threatening to create a global warming disaster. www.geocities.com /carbonomics/MCdoom/16d01/16d01e.html

Life Expectancy in G-7 Industrialized Nations May Exceed Past Predictions, Study Suggests (life expectancy, aging, life) The life expectancy of people in the "G-7" (Group of 7) industrialized nations -- Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States -- may be greater than previously thought, according to a new study. The NIA, one of 25 institutes and centers comprising the National Institutes of Health (NIH), leads the federal effort supporting and conducting research on aging and age-related conditions and issues of older people and their families. It is no surprise to demographers and officials that the population is aging; in the U.S., the coming of age of the baby boomers has been anticipated for quite some time, with the first "boomer" turning 65 in 2011. www.locateadoc.com /articles.cfm/search/166

Discussion Points:   The real down side of this relationship is that peripheral nations’ educational systems and professional service systems are not advanced as they basically become suppliers of raw materials to and consumers of finished goods from industrial nations.   Also important is the role of nations that serve as centers for production for simple goods and components that will later be combined or assembled in industrialized nations.   Also important, here is the notion that the industrialized nations act aggressively to keep the peripheral nations dependent upon them by not allowing them to evolve into developed nations—(conflict theory). www.people.vcu.edu /~jmahoney/chapter16.htm

UNDP United Nations Development Programme 6 June 2005 -The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing are a "prime opportunity" to strengthen global support for volunteerism according to United Nations Volunteers Executive Coordinator Ad de Raad, speaking at the launch of the Olympic Volunteer Programme which plans to mobilize some 100,000 volunteers for Olympic events. United Nations, New York, 9 June 2005 —   Asia's remarkable victories in its war on poverty have put the world, except for sub-Saharan Africa, on target to meet the Millennium Development Goals. The number of people living in extreme poverty has fallen by 130 million worldwide since 1990, even with overall growth of more than 800 million in the developing regions since then, according to The Millennium Development Goals Report 2005, which was launched today by Secretary-General Kofi Annan and other senior UN officials. www.undp.org

Industrialized Nations Go Tax-Haven Hunting The Group of Seven Industrialized Nations (G7) also announced that tax-related crimes would be attacked with the same laws used to combat money laundering according to a May 21 article in the Wall Street Journal. High-tax nations are no doubt encouraged in their fight by the successful campaign against money laundering launched in 1986 by the U.S. Gone are the days when anyone could walk into a tax haven bank with a dufflebag full of cash and deposit it with no questions asked. Yet nations such as Germany, France and Canada adhere to punitive tax regimes that are driving funds and skilled labour offshore in ever-increasing numbers. www.goldhaven.com /ioi/Hunting.htm
