Politicians of poor countries getting richer and richer so their country is still poor even after all the development thing was made by their citizen.
History plays a great role about that. Countries which were rich 40-50 years ago are still rich despite the recent changes.
With all the technology, healthcare and education why is the world still so divided? With some places being rich while others being torn in wars and crimes, forcing people to hide or become refugees. What are your thoughts on the issue?
Because it happens that countries with advance living and economy has the advantage of gaining from other side of living.And also that why there’s a classifications for each countries and the 3rd and5th world is the lowest of them all
The rich country wants the poor ones to remain poor for a reason.
Not that bad because sometimes it happens that poorer countries don’t wanna grow they are contented on what they have and what’s happening with them

Strange question. Because of the politics? Economy? There are too many options, all are obvious.
Culture... And maybe some random factors
Because rich countries know how to turn poor countries into money printers for them, this is the truth!
America found the secret sauce to capitalism by unleashing the potential of its people. Other countries, especially Communist countries, limit their people’s creativity by controlling all kinds of freedom. You are pretty much screwed if you are not part of the ruling Communist party.

Some countries have well knowledged leaders and also enough army and resources to become rich while other countries may lack some of it either resource or man power for managing their country.
Historically, some countries have been held in slavery , if you take Africa , there are so many fossils that the continent could be the richest on earth , but there buy stones for a penny
If you really want to understand reason behind it study history, specially development of industry, trade, human civilization etc.
It's impossible to give simple and short answer here but basically western world used military power to conquer the rest of the world.
After that, they have used their raw materials and workforce for their own development and progress.

Because of debt mostly. There are many countries that keep increasing their debt and then they become incapable of paying it even though they impose everything on their citizens in the form of taxes.

The system is orrganized that's why the country who are rich but remember not means the country is rich they all rich because there is some citizens there are poor. My country is in the thrid world country and I hope soon the economy of this will rise like the other country.
I think a country needs to have a good governance system to be successful. Good governments usually lead to economy growth, they will create the proper incentives for people and businesses to produce and improve their method of production. While bad government, you know the corrupt one, will inhibit or has slower economy.

I think everything depends on their governments and the degree of progress they want to see in their countries, because they will always influence the good management they want to do, as long as it is covering interests for the nation and not for the ruler, where interests are intertwined particular that is what produces all the corruption, that is why some countries are richer and the poor will continue to be poorer.
Because we have weak economic government systems in many countries.
In my own opinion it is because of government which is the reason why some other countries are rich because of the technology that there economy is growing so fast that people can benefit from it , their people have work to sustain their everyday living , and some countries are poor because their government is corrupt and all they want is for themselves.
It's boil down to leadership .if the leader are corrupt then the country will suffer in Long run
