The level of economy in countries around the globe is not even. It is somewhere very high and somewhere very low.
GDP, literacy rate and
employment rate are several parameters of a country to determine the level of its economy. According to a report of the United Nations, hunger causes the death of about
25,000 people everyday. Unfortunately, the number of children is greater than that of adults. Consider several facts of income disparity between rich and poor nations to measure the cleavage between the haves and the haves not. The combined income of the world’s richest individuals leaves far behind that of the poorest 416 million.
982 million out of 4.8 billion people in the developing world live on
$1 a day. Another
2.5 billion live on below
$2 a day. 40% of the poorest population made up 5% of world income while 20% of the richest population
made up 75% of global income in 2005.
Look into the fragile features of
the ten poorest countries of the world.

Thank you, pasat. I'm surprised Haiti wasn't on the list. I've been checking out their source, The World Factbook, there's a whole lotta info there.
