Yes, Costa Rica is a third world country. The term was coined during the cold war as a description of Countries that did not follow the concepts of capitalism (The First World) or Socialism (The Second World). However, those terms are no longer commonly used. Instead, Costa Rica is considered a developing country. Meaning they have a middle income economy but they are progressing.
