Uneven development exists for several economic, social, and political reasons. Economically, the development of new industries in core regions leads to multiplier effects of increased employment, wealth, and expansion of businesses and infrastructure. This causes a backwash effect that drains resources from peripheral regions. Socially, factors like lack of education funding from governments, high population growth rates, and internal conflicts negatively impact development. Politically, problems such as wars, instability, and lack of good leadership and governance prevent equal development across regions.
