Clasificaciones del FMI [1] y la ONU [2] en 2008.

Un país desarrollado (o país industrializado, país de altos ingresos, país económicamente más desarrollado ( MEDC )) es un estado soberano que tiene una alta calidad de vida , economía desarrollada e infraestructura tecnológica avanzada en relación con otras naciones menos industrializadas. Más comúnmente, los criterios para evaluar el grado de desarrollo económico son el producto interno bruto (PIB), el producto nacional bruto (PNB), el ingreso per cápita , el nivel de industrialización, la cantidad de infraestructura generalizada y el nivel de vida general. [3]Qué criterios se utilizarán y qué países pueden clasificarse como desarrollados son temas de debate.

Los países desarrollados tienen generalmente economías postindustriales más avanzadas , lo que significa que el sector de servicios proporciona más riqueza que el sector industrial . Se contrastan con los países en desarrollo , que están en proceso de industrialización o son preindustriales y casi en su totalidad agrarios , algunos de los cuales podrían caer en la categoría de países menos adelantados . A partir de 2015, las economías avanzadas comprenden el 60,8% del PIB mundial basado en valores nominales y el 42,9% del PIB mundial basado en la paridad del poder adquisitivo (PPA) según el Fondo Monetario Internacional . [4]

Definición y criterios [ editar ]

Países según el PIB de 2019 (nominal) per cápita [5]

Los criterios económicos han tendido a dominar las discusiones. Uno de esos criterios es el ingreso per cápita; Los países con un alto producto interno bruto (PIB) per cápita se describirían, por tanto, como países desarrollados. Otro criterio económico es la industrialización ; los países en los que dominan los sectores terciario y cuaternario de la industria se calificarían de desarrollados. Más recientemente, otra medida, el Índice de Desarrollo Humano(IDH), que combina una medida económica, el ingreso nacional, con otras medidas, índices de esperanza de vida y educación se ha vuelto prominente. Este criterio definiría a los países desarrollados como aquellos con una calificación muy alta (IDH). Sin embargo, el índice no tiene en cuenta varios factores, como la riqueza neta per cápita o la calidad relativa de los bienes de un país. Esta situación tiende a bajar la clasificación de algunos de los países más avanzados, como los miembros del G7 y otros. [6] [7]

Según la División de Estadística de las Naciones Unidas :

No existe una convención establecida para la designación de países o zonas "desarrollados" y "en desarrollo" en el sistema de las Naciones Unidas . [8]

Y señala que:

Las designaciones "desarrollado" y "en desarrollo" están destinadas a la conveniencia estadística y no necesariamente expresan un juicio sobre la etapa alcanzada por un país o área en particular en el proceso de desarrollo. [9]

Términos similares [ editar ]

Los términos vinculados al concepto de país desarrollado incluyen "país avanzado", "país industrializado", "país más desarrollado" (MDC), "país más desarrollado económicamente" (MEDC), " país del norte global ", " país del primer mundo ", y "país postindustrial". El término país industrializado puede resultar algo ambiguo, ya que la industrialización es un proceso continuo que es difícil de definir. El primer país industrializado fue el Reino Unido , seguido de Bélgica . Más tarde se extendió a Alemania , Estados Unidos ,Francia y otros países de Europa occidental . Segun algunosSin embargo, para economistas como Jeffrey Sachs , la división actual entre el mundo desarrollado y el mundo en desarrollo es en gran parte un fenómeno del siglo XX. [10]

Mathis Wackernagel califica el etiquetado binario de países como "ni descriptivo ni explicativo. Es simplemente un respaldo irreflexivo y destructivo del fetiche del PIB. En realidad, no hay dos tipos de países, sino más de 200 países diferentes, todos enfrentados con las mismas leyes de la naturaleza, pero cada uno con características únicas ". [11]

Listas de países según varios criterios [ editar ]

Índice de desarrollo humano (IDH) [ editar ]

Países clasificados en la categoría "Muy alta" del Índice de Desarrollo Humano (según datos de 2019, publicados en 2020).

El UN IDH es una medida estadística que mide el nivel de desarrollo humano de un país. Si bien existe una fuerte correlación entre tener un puntaje alto de IDH y ser una economía próspera, la ONU señala que el IDH representa más que ingresos o productividad. A diferencia del PIB per cápita o del ingreso per cápita, el IDH toma en cuenta cómo el ingreso se convierte "en oportunidades de educación y salud y, por lo tanto, en niveles más altos de desarrollo humano".

Desde 1990, Noruega (2001–2006, 2009–2018), Japón (1990–1991 y 1993), Canadá (1992 y 1994–2000) e Islandia (2007–2008) han tenido la puntuación más alta del IDH.

Muchos países clasificados por el FMI como "avanzados" poseen un IDH superior a 0,800, el umbral para un desarrollo humano "muy alto". Muchos países [Nota 1] que poseen un IDH de 0,800 y más están, a la inversa, clasificados por el FMI como "avanzados". Por tanto, muchas "economías avanzadas" se caracterizan por un IDH de 0,800 o más. [12]

El Informe sobre Desarrollo Humano 2019 del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo se publicó el 9 de diciembre de 2019 y calcula los valores del IDH sobre la base de estimaciones para 2018. A continuación se muestra la lista de países con "desarrollo humano muy alto": [13]

  • Increase = aumentar.
  • Steady = estable.
  • Decrease = disminuir.
  • El número entre paréntesis representa el número de rangos que el país ha subido (hacia arriba o hacia abajo) en relación con el ranking en el año de 2017.

As a non-UN member, the government of Taiwan calculates its own HDI based on UNDP's 2010 methodology,[14][15] which had a value of 0.911 in 2018,[Note 2] ranked 21 globally. Additionally, while the HDI for the Chinese special administrative region of Hong Kong is calculated by the UN, it is not for Macau. The Macanese government calculated the territory's HDI to be 0.868 in 2011. These values place both Taiwan and Macau well within the list of countries with "Very high human development".[16] Furthermore, in 2009 a United Nations project calculated the HDI for all of its members, as well as Taiwan, Macau, and many dependent territories. The HDI values for the countries of San Marino and Monaco, which have not been included in official annual HDI reports, were found to be at 0.961 and 0.956 respectively. This places both countries firmly within the category of countries with "Very high human development" as well. The dependent territories with HDI values equivalent to "Very high human development" were: Jersey, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Guernsey, Gibraltar, Norfolk Island, Faroe Islands, Isle of Man, British Virgin Islands, Falkland Islands, Aruba, Puerto Rico, Martinique, Greenland, and Guam.[17] Of note, the HDI values in the 2009 report were calculated using the old HDI formula, while HDI values after the year 2010 are calculated with a different formula.

High-income economies[edit]

Some institutions have produced lists of developed countries: the UN (list shown above), the CIA,[18] and some providers of stock market indices (the FTSE Group, MSCI, S&P, Dow Jones, STOXX, etc.). The latter is not included here because its association of developed countries with countries with both high incomes and developed markets is not deemed as directly relevant.[why?][Note 3]

However, many other institutions have created more general lists referred to when discussing developed countries. For example, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) identifies 39 "advanced economies".[12][19] The OECD's 37 members are known as the "developed countries club".[20][21][22] The World Bank identifies 81 "high income countries".[23] Other standards, such as the 30-50 Club (GDP per capita over $30,000 and population over 50 million) have been developed to categorize highly developed and influential countries.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Namely sovereign states, i.e., excluding Macau: In 2003, the government of Macau calculated its HDI as being 0.909 (the UN does not calculate Macau's HDI); In January 2007, the People's Daily Archived 7 December 2008 at the Wayback Machine reported (from China Modernization Report 2007): "In 2004... Macau... had reached the level of developed countries". The UNCTAD Archived 10 July 2007 at the Wayback Machine organisation (of the UN), as well as the CIA Archived 9 April 2008 at the Wayback Machine, classify Macau as a "developing" territory. The World Bank Archived 28 August 2019 at the Wayback Machine classifies Macau as a high income economy (along with developed economies as well as with few developing economies).
  2. ^ In the 2018 Subnational Human Development Index (SHDI) Database, Taiwan's HDI was given as 0.880 among China's data.[1] However, from 2019 onward, Taiwan and Hong Kong are no longer included in the SHDI Database among Chinese divisions.[2] By contrast, the HDIs which published by the Statistical Bureau of Taiwan in its 2019[3] and 2020[4] reports were displayed as 0.911 in 2018, and 0.916 in 2019 respectively. The reason for the discrepancy is because there is no country data available for Taiwan in the UNDP database, and Taiwan is also excluded from its HDI data for China.[5] The SHDI claimed that the data collection for Taiwan was also derived from the Taiwanese Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics [6]; the latter source is used as primary data in this article.
  3. ^ The Developed Countries Glossary Archived 20 December 2014 at the Wayback Machine entry reads: "The following countries are classified by FTSE as developed countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium/Luxembourg, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong (China), Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States."
  4. ^ Geographically a part of Asia, geopolitically a part of Europe.
  5. ^ Singapore is not a member of the OECD, and has reportedly turned down offers into joining it, meaning that such recognition will remain pending in the near future. However, the country is still considered by other institutions such as the World Bank and the United Nations as developed, and membership to the OECD is not necessarily a criteria for developed status, as well as a country being a part of the OECD does not also mean that a country is developed (e.g. Colombia and Mexico). Singapore has a high-income economy, with the second-highest GDP per capita (PPP) in the world, as well as the highest Human Development Index rankings in the Asia-Pacific. In 2020, the country had also ranked first on the Human Capital Index.
