My own experience in the third world was that even if people started to make more money, the cost of living and housing increased often faster than the wages.

If you look internationally over the last 50 years there have been improvements in the third world, but in the last 20 years the reverse has happened, with debt crises and increased poverty.

More than 820 million people in the world suffer from hunger; and 790 million of them live in the Third World.

We are regarded as a Third World country with First World living conditions.

We're a superpower with a Third World grid.

I like to be called a Nigerian rather than somebody from the Third World or the developing or whatever.
