Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peripheral and semiperipheral countries are typically characterized by a lower level of economic development and a higher level of dependence on primary and low-skilled sectors. As a result, they tend to have lower levels of financial and human capital, leading to greater social reproduction (the cycle of poverty and inequality perpetuated through generations). Core countries, on the other hand, are typically characterized by higher levels of economic development, greater access to financial and human capital, and less social reproduction.
