Generally, [[fertility rate|birth rates]] are higher, people have a lower [[life expectancy]], quality of life is lower, access to health care, education, [[electricity access|electricity]], and other amenities are significantly lower, and individual income is lower. As well, lifestyle in these countries tends to be different than most developed countries as there is a predominance of agriculture and a low level of urbanization.<ref>Alok Kumar. (May 14, 2015).
