| Title | Breaking the Cycle of Underdevelopment in Less Developed Countries. The Case of the Democratic Republic of Congo |
| Summary | The purpose of this thesis is to shed light on the issue of aid dependence as a contributor to all areas of country wide development. This is accomplished through taking a look at aid dependence as a separate subject of study in development economics and making the impact of that dependence on general economic development more visible in order to demonstrate the validity of the concept as well as its general impact. The analysis is conducted through the examination of various theories previously derived from scholars and the evaluation of their explanatory power on the theories. In order to illustrate the validity of all of those previously mentioned theories, their main merits will be applied to the area of child life course development within the examined case study - the Democratic Republic of Congo. Therefore, the main findings of the thesis will illustrate the validity of the concepts mentioned and using the example of the DRC and its child life course criteria – mortality, nourishment and education – will provide for a detailed evaluation of that impact of aid dependency on the day to day lives of people within the DRC. |
