Study Notes
Underdeveloped Countries and Immigration Challenges
- Economic disparities, limited job opportunities, and low wages contribute to emigration from underdeveloped countries
- Political instability and conflict drive emigration, causing insecurity and lack of opportunities
- Insufficient resources and infrastructure hinder sustainable living in underdeveloped countries
Central and Peripheral Countries
- Central countries (e.g., UK, Germany, France, USA) have a more balanced distribution of people, with more medium and large cities
- Peripheral countries (e.g., Brazil, China, Mexico, Argentina) have larger concentrations of people in fewer cities
- Industrial Revolution allowed Central countries to manage the distribution of products, services, and infrastructure, creating a more balanced economy
- Peripheral countries had less time to "catch up" to the Industrial Revolution, leading to concentrated populations, services, and infrastructure in fewer cities
Urbanization in Peripheral Countries
- Rapid urbanization in Peripheral countries (e.g., Brazil, India, China, Mexico, South Africa) led to unrestrained and uncontrollable urban growth
- Geographic conflicts resulting from urbanization include:
- Inequality
- Public transportation inefficiency
- Unemployment
- Poverty
- Lack of sanitation
- Over ⅓ of Argentina's population lives in Buenos Aires, exemplifying the concentration of population in a single city
Explore the various challenges faced by underdeveloped countries that lead to immigration, including economic disparities, limited job opportunities, political instability, and lack of infrastructure.
