UN Human Development Index
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN_Human_Development_Index
The UN Human Development Index is a quantitative index of development which some use as a proxy to define Third World.
The UN Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of poverty, literacy, education, life expectancy, childbirth, and other factors for countries worldwide. It is a standard means of measuring well-being, especially child welfare.
The index was developed in 1990 by the Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq, and has been used since 1993 by the United Nations Development Programme in its annual Human Development Report.

Third World : at Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Third World : at Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia
Terms such as Global South, less wealthy nations, developing countries, least developed countries and the Majority World have become more popular in many circles, due to the derogatory and out of date connotations of describing a 'Third' world. Development workers also call them the two-thirds world (because two-thirds of the world is underdeveloped) and The South.
The term Third World is also disliked as it may imply the false notion that those countries are not a part of the global economic system.

Third World : Encyclopedia Article at MSN Encarta
Third World, general designation of economically developing nations. The term arose during the cold war, when two opposing blocs?ne led by the United States (first), the other led by the USSR (second)?ppeared to dominate world politics. Within this bipolar model, the Third World consisted of economically and technologically less developed countries belonging to neither bloc.
The countries of the Third World, containing some two-thirds of the world's population, are located in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Politically, they are generally nonaligned (see Nonaligned Movement).
