I suppose this is a fact. Most intelligent and learned people of 3rd countries are found in 1st countries. They find less or no time to work for their motherland. You also realise that only people with sound mind are the most beneficiaries of Green cards and alike.

Hai friends,

As everyone said that among all the countries India is a third country for poverty.

I agree with you and I add some more points to you those are first poverty start by ours only because of for example we can take 3 persons who are traveling in one bike then the police man stop that bike then those people are give 500 to that police and go. That means the poverty start from ours only. To reduce the poverty in our country we can reduce by ours only.

REDUCE POVERTY SAVE OUR COUNTRY thanks for giving this topic for discussing.

I think poverty is not due to prosperity in first world countries. Now a days a religious people think that poverty is a result of their fate so, they do not make any efforts to break this vicious circle of poverty. Any country which is developed or developing is due to their own efforts. But a poor people cannot make any effort. Secondly we can say that corruption is the main reason most of the political leader in India is corrupt.

Poverty comes due to populations. Suppose a parents has only one child and his monthly income is 10,000 Rs. Then he can live better ways but a parents has same monthly income but has 5 children then he can not live better ways. Their money is divided into 5 childrens and there will be always insuffiencies of money. So in our country main region of poverty is populations.

Hi Friends, According to me a country can develop only because of their self recognition. We shouldn't blame others for that. We have seen some time people who are physically strong are begging on streets who are capable to do work and earn money. They are begging because they don't want to do work. In last 65 years after independence we growth good in every field but we should take Singapore and japan as inspiration to grow. In japan we have seen last year tsunami had come but they wouldn't stop to work. In whole world people are generally using made in china things because in china every person is hard worker everyone just think for their country growth. We can do something to ourselves for our company growth.

The 1st world countries make efforts to turn down 3rd world countries. The organizations like Black waters working with the help of US is an example.

Hello everyone. I don't think that poverty in third country is because of prosperity in first country.

Because we cannot always blame others for our Faliure. This would simply mean that we are loosing our cool by looking at the rich or developed countries. Those first countries are prosperous because of their government policies in terms of globalisation, dmestic affairs & most important people of that citizen obey the mandatory rules for their upliftment. So we cannot always think he/she is responsible for my nil or poor results.

To be candid and fair to a certain degree, it can be argued that poverty and misery so prevalent in the third world especially in Africa has contributed in part to the prosperity of the developed world especially the western world-dont forget the Pareto philosophy-for someone to be up, the other person must be down. Colonialism and the slave trade should not be soft-pedaled. They greatly hampered and are still haunting the full development of the African economies.

Lets not forget unfair trade practices and protectionism by western governments to their local farmers and tools of neo-colonialism like the world bank and IMF used to indirectly control african governments. However african leaders have also failed their own people woefully. Instead of building strong institutions and a vibrant private sector that creates wealth for the country, they concentrate their efforts on holding on to power at all costs.

That is why corruption; mismanagement of state funds, nepotism; and embezzlement all bedevil most african countries. The way forward is changing our mentality, building strong institutions and investing in education especially scientific research and technology.

Poverty in 3rd world country is not due to prosperity in 1st world countries. 1st world countries could use its resources manpower and could adapt to world class technologies thus they could progress in this competitive age. Whereas 3rd world countries could not adapt to these factors. Its trade framework infrastructure even govt is not able to mould itself into newness. 3rd world countries like Africa in spite of being resourceful is down with poverty cause the people of the nation are lax towards developing their lives. The govt is dependant on foreign aid and gets debt ridden in due course. Education ease of doing business liberal govt policies all need a reform to drive a poverty ridden country out of the mould and walk towards prosperity. Thank you.

I don't think its a true statement, as the 1st world countries are the ones that are developing. And with their help and guidance, maybe direct or indirect, the 3rd world countries can progress, otherwise there is no chance that these poor countries come ahead on their own.
