Developing countries are those whose economies are in the process of economic development from underdevelopment or a transitional economy [1]. These countries have not attained a high level of industrialization yet and have some problems related to weak infrastructures, inequality, and so on. Two-thirds of the world's population live in developing countries located mainly in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Some of the main social problems of developing countries are [1] poverty, understood as the lack of wealth to meet the needs of the inhabitants; high unemployment and corruption rates; economic inequality among their inhabitants; little or no funding for science and technology from the state; low per capita income; and technological dependence on other countries.
