Detailed explanation-1: -Differences in the economic growth rate of nations often come down to differences in inputs (factors of production) and differences in TFP-the productivity of labor and capital resources. Higher productivity promotes faster economic growth, and faster growth allows a nation to escape poverty.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wealthy nations can also take positive steps to directly benefit developing countries-specifically, by taking action against corrupt leaders, assisting research and development, and enhancing global labor mobility. The deepest challenge for countries in the poorest parts of the world, especially Africa, is governance.
