What are the main obstacles to economic and political progress in developing nations?

Developing nations are characterized as having low Human Development Index (HDI) that can be determined by low income, inequality, increasing population, lack of technological intervention, poor health and inadequate education. 

These characteristics, are in itself the hindrance in achieving economic and political growth in developing nations, where poverty can be viewed as the leading obstacle as it seems to follow a vicious cycle.

For example, having a good education matters if you want to break free from poverty. However, in reality, even the government in these nations fail to provide even the basic education to its increasing population. 

As the population increases, the number of poor people that needs education and health assistance also increases, making it harder for the government to provide their needs.

Likewise, corruption in the developing countries is also rampant, thus making the poor population poorer.
