Do you think the world sucks?

We will be taking a deep dive into many facets of development in the poorest countries in the world to see if there's a bright-side to current state of the world.

After that, we will be looking at some aggregate results from 188 countries in 2018, evaluating the world's general socio-economical conditioin.

Here are 10 of the poorest countries (by GDP)

GDP Ranking in the World

Data of 2018. Color scaled with GDP per capita

From this chart, we observe that the distribution of GDP is highly skewed in the world, meaning that there persists high inequality.

World's Life Expectancy

Data of 2018. Radius represents GDP per capita

From this chart, we observe that life expectancy in a country is highly correlated with its GDP per capita (suggested by larger circles in general at higher positions).

Has your opinion about the world changed?

At first, we looked into the development details of some of the poorest countries, we observe a lot of positive improvement and growing trends; however, certain countries are still struggling with their development process, and there is much room for further progress. Then we took a holistic view of the world's current socio-economical condition based on our aggregate data, and it is clear that inequality persists, and there remains huge gaps between the wealthy countries and the poor countries.

Overall, it would be cynical to conclude that "the world sucks" as we see many highly developed regions and evident improvement around the world. But it is also important to recognize that we still have a long way to go towards a better and fairer world for all, and we must be concerned and strive for that goal in unity.

Thank You!
