I'm taking that you haven't lived in those countries to say that. I lived in Mali for 2 years. They are never going to join us in the club of first-world standards living, they have no resources but sand in their country, not enough tree to make paper to write on. Their society was perfectly adapted to that before we told them they should have computers that they can't affort because they have nothing to contribute to a global economy. Besides, you assume you need more people to be developped, while France is only 60 millions people, smaller than a lot of developping country.
