What is North-South Divides?

4. When was the global division started?
The origin of dividing countries into the North-
South Divide arose during the Cold War of the
mid 20th century. During this time, countries
were primarily categorized according to their
alignment between the Russian East and the
American West.

5. Why is there a North and South Divide?
The main cause of the north-south divide is de-industrialisation, as
manufacturing industries, traditionally located in the north have closed.
As you can see from the data below manufacturing continues to be
very important in the north whereas in the south it is ranked 7th.

those living in the north of the country
can experience lower incomes, higher
unemployment and a lower standard of
living than those living in the south. The

THE BRANDT LINE, PROPOSED BY WILLY BRANDT
(THE GERMAN CHANCELLOR) IN 1980, CREATED
A
PARTITION BETWEEN THE ‘DEVELOPED’ NORTH
AND ‘DEVELOPING’ SOUTH. BRANDT CAME TO
THE
CONCLUSION THAT MORE COOPERATION
BETWEEN COUNTRIES COULD 'BUILD A WORLD IN
WHICH SHARING, JUSTICE, FREEDOM AND PEACE
MIGHT PREVAIL' (WILLY BRANDT, 1983).
