Underdeveloped countries are the ones which could not develop to the full potential. Development is necessarily seen as the growth path followed by Western countries. Hence, development in this context is in the perspective of modern v/s traditional or western v/s traditional comparison between countries.

Underdeveloped countries usually have a large percentage of the population engaged subsistence agriculture or working on large plantations. Subsistence agriculture is raising crops for family use with little, if any, of the crop sold. Underdeveloped countries, a small percentage of the population is engaged in manufacturing and industry.

Developed countries usually have a large percentage of the population engaged in manufacturing and industry. A very small percentage of the population is engaged in subsistence agriculture. Those engaged in agriculture raise crops to sell products. This type of agriculture is called commercial agriculture.

The difference is developed countries are fortunate and under developed countries are not.

The difference between Canada and Africa perhaps would be a good example

Developed countries are ones with clean running water, businesses, cars, medical facilities, and proper education. Developing countries have some of the features of a developed country but not all of them.

Developed countries are countries that have a great deal of manufacturing.

Developing countries are countries that are mostly in africa,Asia,and Latin America.

Rule of Law. Developing countries tend to be more corrupt and lacking in some basic integrity in their institutions. In order for commerce to thrive there must be stability.
