The North-South division refers to the structural inequalities in the international economy. The North is roughly composed of developed northern hemisphere countries, while the South is comprised of underdeveloped or developing Third World countries. This categorization ignores the geographic position of some countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, taking placing in the South, yet being labeled as part of the North. The developed countries of the North account for over 90 percent of all manufacturing industries in the world. Even though these countries account for only one quarter of the total global population, they control almost 80 percent of the world’s total income. On the other hand, the countries in the South are characterized by low level of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and high population. These countries account for only a fifth of the global income for over three quarters of the global population. The correct answer is A.
