Nowadays we can see that women are treated unequally to men in some LEDC countries: African countries‚ Pakistan‚ Yemen‚ Saudi Arabia and some other Muslim countries.

The Hurricane Katrina storm which hit the USA and Cyclone Nargis which hit Burma. The USA is a very rich country so its ability to deal with and manage the impacts should be much greater than how Burma‚ an LEDC deals with them.

One way in which MEDC’s and LEDC’s differ is through infrastructure. In an MEDC such as the USA there are strict building codes ensuring that buildings are able to withstand hazards – in Katrina’s case hurricane force winds. This significantly reduces impacts on a social level evidenced by the death toll of 1000 people in the

Suburbanisation in the UK has been severely limited by the Green Belt Policy since then‚ whereas this policy does not exist in other MEDCS. The restriction of outward growth has since caused a rise in the housing densities of Birmingham’s suburbs. This shows the declining size of houses and the rise in affluence among the younger members of the population. In the Birmingham area and its

One approach of reducing development disparities is the mean of trade – the business of buying and selling commodities either within a country or between several countries.
