GDP per capita measures a country's economic output divided by its population. It's the most reliable indicator for determining what is the poorest country in the world, as it reflects average living standards and economic prosperity per person.

Challenges Faced

The poorest countries in the world face multiple challenges including lack of infrastructure, limited access to education and healthcare, political instability, and vulnerability to natural disasters and climate change impacts.

Most of the world's poorest countries are located in Sub-Saharan Africa, though some are found in Asia and other regions. Understanding whats the poorest country in the world helps highlight global economic disparities.

International organizations and developed nations provide aid and support to help the most poorest countries in the world improve their economies, infrastructure, and quality of life for their citizens.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the poorest country in the world in 2024 according to the GDP per capita?

South Sudan was the poorest in 2024 with GDP per capita of $300.86. In 2025, South Sudan continues with $313.22 based on IMF data.

What challenges do the poorest countries in the world face?

Key challenges include: limited infrastructure and poor transportation, lack of access to education and healthcare, political instability and governance issues, civil conflicts, vulnerability to natural disasters and climate change, limited clean water and electricity, high unemployment, and dependence on subsistence agriculture.

What is the GDP per capita and how is it calculated?

GDP per capita = Total GDP ÷ Population. It measures average economic output per person and serves as a key indicator of living standards. GDP is the total monetary value of all goods and services produced within a country's borders annually. Our data uses current prices in US dollars for accurate comparisons.

What is the source of provided data?

All data comes from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), an authoritative source for global economic statistics. Data is in current prices (US dollars) from 2021 to 2025, compiled from official national statistics offices and central banks.

How did the ranking change within the recent years?

In 2021, Burundi was the poorest with $258.82, in 2023 it was Burundi ($313.42), and in 2025 South Sudan ($313.22). The overall composition of the poorest nations remains relatively consistent, with most located in Sub-Saharan Africa.

How is "poorest country" determined?

Poverty is measured by GDP per capita (total economic output ÷ population). Low GDP per capita = limited wealth per person. Countries below $1,000-2,000 are typically classified as among the poorest.

Why are some countries so poor?

Factors include: conflict and political instability, lack of infrastructure (roads, electricity, water), limited education access, and low investment. Environmental challenges like drought and disease, plus historical factors like colonialism, perpetuate poverty cycles.

How does population size affect GDP per capita?

Large populations with low output = lower GDP per capita, even if the total economy grows. If population grows faster than GDP, per capita can decrease. Conversely, small countries with strong economies can have very high GDP per capita.

Are the poorest countries mostly in Africa?

Many are in Sub-Saharan Africa, but poverty exists globally. Countries in Asia (Afghanistan, Yemen) also face extreme challenges, often due to war, isolation, or poor governance.
