The concept of Global North and Global South is used to describe a grouping of countries along the lines of socio-economic and political characteristics. The Global South is a term that broadly comprises countries in the regions of Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia, and Oceania, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Most of the countries in the Global South are characterized by low income, dense population, poor infrastructure, and often political or cultural marginalization. The Global South forms one side of the divide; on the other is the Global North. As such, the terms Global North and Global South do not refer to the cardinal directions of north and south as many of the Global South countries are geographically located in the Northern Hemisphere.
