Además de contar con niveles de vida bajos, los países en vías de desarrollo dependen, normalmente, de sus exportaciones de materias primas a las economías occidentales avanzadas, en lo que se refiere a la mayor parte de su renta nacional. El sector industrial es pequeño, porque la mayor parte de la gente trabaja en la tierra, en una agricultura tecnológicamente atrasada. Los países en vías de desarrollo presentan, con frecuencia, grandes desigualdades en la distribución de su renta y de su riqueza, y tienden a ser inestables políticamente. 7, record 1, Spanish, - pa%C3%ADs%20en%20v%C3%ADas%20de%20desarrollo
