Comment on Indiana is a great place to hire child labor
Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 6 days agoHow many have you been to? I’ve been to a few.
I didn’t realize that 3rd world is a derogatory term from the Cold War era so let’s switch to developing.
One developing country I’ve been to is Paraguay. They have a literacy rate of 94.54% and apparently the global literacy rate is 86.3%
Let’s look at US states now www.datapandas.org/…/literacy-rate-by-state
Yes I just quickly googled these because this is social media, not a uni term paper

Well, I would agree that literacy rates are lower here.
To be fair, I am going off media representation of what is considered “developing” (well, media representation of “3rd world”, anyway).
But, simply look up HDI scores for the US states and you will see that there is no comparison here.
