Qatar
Like the UAE, Qatar is a nation abundant in crude, one of the world’s highest annual incomes. Unfortunately, as per The Economist, its income disparity surpasses that of the UAE, with top earners making 13 times the poorest, pushing its average income to $36,958, currently ranked No 36. Pulling Qatar down to No. 33 is its GDP and SPI ratings on our richest list of nations. These key categories rank No. 55 and No. 58, respectively, with a GDP of just $192 billion and SPI suffering from extreme hardships with inclusiveness, individual rights, and access to advanced education.
Mexico
Mexico claims to have an enormous $1.2 trillion in GDP, placing it number 15 globally. It appears to come into our ranking of richest countries only at No. 32, even after this significant number. Mexico’s largest fall stems from its No. 73 ranked average wages of just $16,298. Its SPI rating No. 59, however, also does not promote it. The SPI rating reflects average water and sanitation scores and basic healthcare scores. Still, it falls well short of 45.80 in access to the best education, 48.27 in personal safety, and 62.06 in personal choice and freedom in major aspects.
