Developing countries are generally countries that are seen as being less advanced in terms of technologies, while also having a lower human development index and a poorer quality of life. In addition to this, developing countries are seen as having developing economies, which means the per capita income level and diversity of exports is generally lower. As well, these countries cooperate less in global trade and the global economy. This general term indicates the bottom group of countries in terms of advancement, but can be further broken down into less developed countries and least developed countries to account for differences within this group.
