Ethnic and Religious Breakdown as a differentiating factor between two developing countries.

Ethnic and religious backgrounds can be an important factor in differentiating the development of two countries. Depending on the populations, differences in ethnic and religious backgrounds can play a role in how resources are allocated, what types of policies are put in place, and even how governments approach certain issues. For example, countries that have large religious divides between its citizens may have different stances on certain social and political issues, which can lead to high levels of conflict and division on public policies. In addition, religious or ethnic conflict can lead to increased inequality and economic disparities among citizens, resulting in clear development disparities between two countries. Lastly, different ethnic and religious groups may have different access to resources and education, leading to a further divide in the development of two countries.
