Question 25

CONCLUSION

Answer 25

Overall, this essay has argued that the wider international community, particularly becoming much poorer overall, are affected the most from global underdevelopment. Becoming much poorer overall means that developed countries cannot sell luxury goods to those in poverty which negatively impact the economy significantly. The group with the least significant effects are governments affected by a lack of taxes because the UN Tax Committee are creating practical guidance for governments in order to strengthen tax systems. With the impact of global conflicts such as Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine, it is predicted that underdevelopment will continue to increase on a global-scale as people are seeing their homes and families destroyed.
