Global Stratification

4. Global Stratification: Three Worlds
Compare the three worlds of global stratification:
the Most Industrialized Nations
the Industrializing Nations
the Least Industrialized Nations

5. The Most Industrialized Nations
Their wealth is so enormous that even their poor live better and longer lives than do the average citizens of the Least Industrialized Nations.

6. The Industrializing Nations
Most people have much lower incomes and standards of living than do those who live in the Most Industrialized Nations. The majority, however, are better off than those who live in the Least Industrialized Nations.

8. The Least Industrialized Nations
Most people live on small farms or in villages, have large families, and barely survive.
