Introduction
The poorest countries in the world are those with the lowest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. GDP is an economic indicator that measures the value of goods and services produced by a country over a given period. Thus, the poorer the country, the lower its GDP. Unfortunately, poverty remains a global challenge with about 8% of the world’s population living in extreme poverty meaning that people are earning less than $2.15 per day.
In the world, the poorest countries are mostly located in Africa and Asia, with Burundi being the poorest country followed by Somalia, Mozambique, Central African Republic, and Madagascar. These countries are located in Sub-Saharan Africa, where poverty is widespread due to factors such as political instability, corruption, lack of infrastructure, and poor access to education and healthcare. In Asia, the poorest countries are Yemen, Tajikistan, and Myanmar, where poverty is also prevalent due to political conflicts and economic instability.
