One way how developing countries are different than less developed countries are the birth rate and fertility rate, since less developed countries(eg: countries in Africa) have a higher fertility rate due to the lack of educational resources and healthcare, which cause mothers to produce more children to compensate the already high child/infant mortality rate, more demand on labor to support the children, overpopulation(due to lack of recourses) and the application of anti-natal policies, while developed countries are the opposite.
