Economy obstacles
Too focus on informal sector
The informal sector is economic activity that is neither taxed nor monitored by a government and is not included in that government's Gross National Product (GNP) as opposed to a formal economy. The government cannot collect the tax from them to increase the government income.
eg ; Majority the people in Republic Congo just worked for themselves and their families like farmers. They did not any chances to develop the country because the government unable to provide the facilities for job opportunities
Social obstacles
Selfish attitude in society
- Unaware about the poor people in surroundings
- rich ignore the poor
eg : Many people in Kalimantan, Indonesia came to Malaysia just want to find job opportunities to develop themselves. The government ignored about the poor people in rural area and just focus in urban area like Jakarta.
War
- People cannot develop because the war. People and also country take a long time to become stable as usual.
eg ; The people in Palestine can not develop because all the facilities damaged because of war. So, it is hard and difficult for them to survive and have the problems to increase the opportunities in social in terms of education, health and so on.

Economic obstacles:
ReplyDeleteOne of the major problem with the use of GNP in determining development is it doesn’t include some sectors in the calculation – this include the illegal activities, self-sufficient activities such as poultry for own consumption and domestic work as in housewife.
Based on the example given, it didn’t show to me that the government focuses on the informal sector nor the formal one. Unable to provide the facilities doesn’t really reflecting the issue of too focus on informal sector.
Social obstacle:
Just fine.
Status: re-do the economic obstacle part.
