      It’s huge in general but varies from country to country

      Just a note: I don’t know what others say and what the mods prefer here, but I guess they’d agree there is no such thing as a “third world country”. Let’s call the continent or so and let us there be in one world :-)

        As someone from a third world country living in a first world country, yeah the difference is still there and depending on where you are in the third world, it’s not decreasing.
