The democratic republic of Congo is a country living in poverty. They are in the bottom 60 countries in the world. This developing country is defined developing by four categories.
GDP per capita..
The GDP per capita in Congo is $300. This places them at the 230 in the list of countries based off of GDP. That means most countries are much richer than Congo.
High Population Growth…
The population growth is 3.165% which places them at number 10 in the world. That means compared to other countries, they have a very high population growth.
High Unemployment and Underemployment Rate…
These are not available, however, by the other factors, one can assume it is very high.
Over dependence on Primary Sector…
They dont have many exports at all because there is much corruption in the government. They are extremely, extremely poor.
This would not be a country to do a seminar on, because there are not enough available statistics.

You know, if you look at the CIA world fact book thing and look at the list for GDP per capita…Congo is last
Another fun fact…i had a teacher in 7th grade who lived in the congo for a while
anyways columbia is way better than the congo like 300$ GDP/capita vs 9800$ or something crazy.
the population growth is like 2 percent less too, but like the congo, there is too much dependence of agriculture
Good luck hearing back from the Prez.
