More developed regions, following the UN classification, comprise all of Europe and North America, plus Australia, Japan, and New Zealand.


All other regions and countries are classified as less developed.


The least developed countries consist of 49 countries with especially low incomes, high economic vulnerability, and poor human development indicators; 34 of these countries are in sub-Saharan Africa, 14 in Asia, and one in the Caribbean.
