Question

Choose a developing country and give 3 reasons why it is a developing country ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Qatar

Explanation:

Three 3 reasons why Qatar can be considered as developing country.

1. LIFESTYLE:

Many of Qatar citizens enjoy luxuries of the developed world, such as access to technology, leisure activities, fast food, and expendable income. A very high number of Qatar’s elite if not all, have lifestyles that are comparable to or even more lavish than citizens of developed countries, particularly in the country's capital, Doha. The income gap between the wealthiest and poorest citizens of Qatar is very skewed. While there is extreme wealth and access for some, there is extreme poverty and struggle for many more—reminiscent of the conditions that typify many of the other developing countries in and near the Arabian Peninsula. Perhaps that's why Qatar's HDI is 0.85—above the minimum for a developed country, but low considering how high the GDP is.

2. INFRASTRUCTURE

Qatar also enjoys an extensive and highly-developed infrastructure that has been built and developed with oil wealth since the 1950s. The country is served by a network of over 1,230 kilometers (764 miles) of primary and secondary roads, linking Doha with major industrial and oil producing areas. Most of these roads, some 1,107 kilometers (688 miles), are paved. The country has no railway system. Qatar has 4 airports, 2 of which have unpaved runways. Doha International Airport is the country's major airport. Twenty-eight airlines service Doha and bring in most of the country's tourists. Qatar has 3 ports and harbors: Doha, Halul Island, and Umm Sa'id.

3. ECONOMY

Qatar's markets are booming largely because of the oil industry in the country. Dramatic plans have been laid out for new benchmarks in 2022 when the country will host the World Cup and 2030 when Qatar’s "2030 Vision" is planned to finish unfurling. Perhaps by then, it will have become a developed country.
