The term "Global North" refers to the economically developed countries primarily located in the Northern Hemisphere. This includes nations such as the United States, Canada, and many countries in Western Europe. These countries typically have higher income levels, advanced technological infrastructure, and better access to education and healthcare. In contrast to the Global South, which consists of developing nations, the Global North plays a significant role in global economics and politics. It is characterized by strong industrialization, high standards of living, and significant influence in international organizations like the United Nations and the World Bank.
