Some countries have more money and things than others. It's like one kid has a big piggy bank full of coins, while another only has a few pennies, but why? Imagine some kids get extra candy every day from their parents, while others barely get any. That's kind of what happens with country wealth disparity. Some countries start with more things and help, so they grow faster than others.
Examples
- A country with lots of oil can sell it to other countries and become rich
- A country that teaches its children well might grow faster than one that doesn't
- Countries that trade with each other often get richer together
