Firstly, it will discuss about the overall growth in the development of the country. Secondly, it will deal with another factual information about the knowledge and skill of persons in poor countries.
A country always need employees who excel in their fields and really have great knowledge. If a person is having less knowledge and still he is working he may give better to the nation, but for best output the person should be really be minded.
