Economic Backwardness

Economic backwardness refers to a situation where a country or region has significantly lower levels of income, industrial development, and technological progress compared to more advanced economies. It often results from factors like inadequate infrastructure, limited access to education and capital, or historical disadvantages, which hinder economic growth. This gap can lead to disparities in living standards and opportunities. Addressing economic backwardness typically involves investments in education, infrastructure, and technology, aiming to boost productivity, attract investment, and promote sustainable development to bring the economy closer to global standards.
