Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dependency theory in Latin America assumes that this region as a whole will be kept in a state of underdevelopment and economically dependent on richer areas of the world. The theory suggests that the development of poorer countries is hindered by their economic dependence on richer countries, which leads to a perpetuation of underdevelopment. The theory does not address the benefits or disadvantages of fluctuations in world markets for women, or whether moving back to subsistence farming will benefit men or women.
