3. World Wealth Map
This wealth map shows which territories have the greatest wealth when Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is compared using currency exchange rates. This indicates international purchasing power - what someone’s money would be worth if they wanted to spend it in another territory. For some their money will gain value when they move - others’ money will lose value.
Wealth, as reflected by GDP per person, is highest in Luxembourg, Norway and Switzerland. It is lowest in Ethiopia, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Are all people without jobs poor? (No, consider the elderly, children, people who have accumulated wealth over time, etc.)
How do the poor earn what income they have? Is their income always in money? (Most of the world's poor are subsistence farmers and/or herders. Their "income" is called "in-kind." It is the crop or the animals they produce, consume, or trade for other things they consume. Note that we usually measure their wealth through consumption surveys rather than through government income data.)

Given our definition of poverty, who is poor? Where in the world do the poor live?
