underdeveloped economy:

... the structure or condition of the production, development, distribution and management of material wealth of latent potential in a location; an economy that, although going through change or receiving attention, is considered not to be operating at its full potential.

Underdeveloped economies are likely to be seen by concerned outsiders as areas in need of socioeconomic development; i.e., a place where both social and economic factors should be addressed, for example, see comments about underdeveloped nations in the encyclopedia of NationMaster.com. Also, a resource paper by John L. Gallup is published online by the Center for International Development at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA titled Geography and Socioeconomic Development. See the .network definition of a geography.
