There’s no “third world countries” anymore.
Thanks, you worked a miracle with a simple statement!
Interestingly, the term arose during the Cold War, to identify countries that were not aligned with either NATO or the Warsaw Pact.
In recent years, the term has come to define countries that have
high poverty rates, economic instability and lack basic human necessities like access to water, shelter or food for its citizens. These countries are often underdeveloped, and in addition to widespread poverty, they also have high mortality rates.
Plenty of those around, still. UK, frinstance.
