The scale of destruction a volcano has is heavily dependant on whether the eruption occurs in an MEDC or an LEDC and the way in which these country’s prepare and plan for the possibility of a volcanic eruption.

Most of the money that is made in these places goes back to the mother country of the TNC’s‚ though they might want to keep things the way they are‚ they are still TNC’s meaning they must report back to the MEDC they are from‚ therefore they must keep certain global standards‚ exposing the Chinese to these standards pushes the local factories to bring up their standards as well‚ and when the local factories achieve the same standards‚ the workers will come

LEDCs vs MEDCs: Since 1950‚ the most rapid growth in urbanisation has occurred in LEDCs (Less Economically Developed Countries) in South America‚ Africa and Asia. Between 1950 and 1990‚ the urban population in LEDCs has doubled. In China‚ the urban population grew from 192 million to 375 million in 16 years. However‚ this is not the case in MEDCs‚ which instead face the phenomenon of counter-urbanisation where people choose

This has caused‚ for the first time‚ a population decline which suggests that perhaps the model should have a fifth stage added to it. However the model does not go beyond Stage 4. - The model assumes that in time all countries pass through the same four stages. It now seems unlikely‚ however‚ that many LEDCs‚ especially in Africa‚ will become industrialized - External influences

However the Uruguay Round (1986-1994) led to a reduction of developed countries trade tariffs by nearly 40%‚ although MEDCs then introduced NTBs which are arguably even more detrimental to an advancing global economy (Bacchetta‚ 2001).
