Chile
In our list of wealthiest nations, this other country in South America, Chile, is now on No. 35. I looked at its huge coastline, but not really at its average earnings of $14,670.0 at No. 78. At No 43, its $298.2-billion GDP is indeed significantly lower. However, its No. 34 SPI ranking gives it a shot needed to reach the bottom half of our list. Chile’s SPI is boosted by a high water and sanitation rating, access to medical care, and individual rights, but brought down by its 43.69 access to the best education.
Argentina
Argentina’s South America’s major country, is No. 34 on the world’s wealthiest chart. With all its $12,370 annual wage ringing in at the globe’s No. 84, it’s not pleasant. Though, its $518.5 billion GDP is actually ranked No. 24 and tends to bump it up. Its SPI No. 42 ratings is leveling out. Access to water and sanitation in Argentina and decent healthcare offer a significant boost to its SPI ranking. However, its 40,82 points for access to the best school and 58,37 points for personal protection downgrade its overall ranking.
