Zimbabwe and Ethiopia are considered to be “developing countries.” Explain what this means with regard to life expectancy, standard of living, literacy, and income.

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Development throughout sub-Saharan Africa is considered to be very low. This means that life expectancy is below world average. Most people live in poverty, many on less than one dollar per day. Many people do not have access to clean water and sanitation systems. Literacy rates are below world average, and many people receive very little education.
