this presentation very good for political and international relations students those student want to understand that what is difference 1st 2nd and 3rd world and where is Pakistan
2. The concept Third World arose during the
Cold War to define countries that remained
non-aligned with either NATO, - US, Canada,
Western Europe, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan,
Australia, New Zealand. And the Communist
Block The Second World was the Communist
world led by the USSR. With the demise of
the USSR and the communist block, there is
no longer an official Second World
designation, although Russia, China,
Vietnam and Cambodia have "communist"
governments
3. This terminology provided a way of
broadly categorizing the nations of the
Earth into three groups based on
social, political, cultural and economic
divisions
4. The Third World was normally seen to
include many countries
with colonial pasts in Africa , Latin
America and Asia. the Third World has
also been connected to the world
economic division as "periphery"
countries in the world system that is
dominated by the "core" countries.
5. The economically underdeveloped countries
of Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Latin America,
considered as body with common
characteristics, such as poverty, high
birthrates, and economic dependence on the
advanced countries.
6. 1. Blue : First World Countries
2. Red : Second World Countries
3. Green : Third World Countries
8. The main economy of a less developed
country depends on agriculture. Most of its
people work in agriculture.
In most of Africa, Asia, and much of Latin
America, a large percentage of people are
primarily involved with feeding themselves
from their own land and livestock.

13. Pakistan is also third world country in the world
with many of its citizens living in poverty. This
makes it difficult for the inhabitants of Pakistan to
get a good healthcare policy. The main problem
with the Pakistani economy is the instability of
the government. With constant changes in
government and their policies it has been very
difficult to either attract foreign
14. investment or for the economy to grow
internally. The country has made some
changes to help the economy grow in recent
years the growth has been strong.
Unfortunately, the growth has been
accompanied by very high levels of inflation.
This has left most Pakistanis worse off than
before. The main source of income for Pakistan
is textiles; it is really their only major export.
15. The country produces little else and has few
resources to speak of. Unfortunately having only
one major export puts the country in a position
where they are very susceptible to changes in
demand or price for textiles. There are many
challenges facing Pakistan as it attempts to
diversify its economy. The biggest is the lack of
foreign investment. Due to the instability in the
country very few companies are willing to invest
in Pakistan. That makes it very difficult to do
things like setting up factories for western
companies which is what most developing
nations do.
16. There are also serious issues with
infrastructure, especially with getting enough
electricity to meet the needs of industry. The
poor education system has also left Pakistan
with a work force that lacks the skills necessary
for development. Right now Pakistan relies
heavily on foreign aid as a means of keeping its
economy going. In fact the two largest sources
of income are foreign aid and remittances from
Pakistanis working abroad.
17. This is not going to help the economy to grow as
chances are that if anything foreign aid will
decrease in the future. If the country is going to
get its problems sorted out it is going to take a
serious effort on the part of the government.
Unfortunately Pakistan’s economic problems
extend beyond its lack of development. Due to
the poor decisions of the government the value of
the currency has been depreciating dramatically
in recent years.
18. This has made the countries financial troubles
even worse. The main result has been the
massive inflation. This is another issue that
Pakistan is going to have to address. It won't
be easy to solve this problem given that they
rely so heavily on foreign aid and that they
need to import so much of their raw materials.
This leaves them with a very poor balance of
trade and serious currency problems.
19. But recently started China & Pakistan economy
project can build up the status of Pakistan front of
the world. According to Pakistan Economic
Survey 2014-15, the volume of trade between
Pakistan and China has increased to $16 billion.
China’s exports to Pakistan increased by ten
percent during the five years from 2009- 10 to
2014-15. As a result, China’s share in Pakistan’s
total exports has gradually picked up from four
percent in 2009-10 to nine percent during the
fiscal year 2014-15
