This is a list of bordering countries with the greatest relative differences in GDP (PPP) per person; specifically those pairs of neighbouring countries where the richer country is at least twice as wealthy on a per capita basis than the poorer. These statistics however do not consider differences in other economic indicators that measure welfare, such as their human development index, or inequality within countries. == Characteristics == The greatest cases of inequity typically would involve an impoverished and politically unstable country neighbouring a resource-rich and relatively stable one, although neither may be recognised as a high-income economy. As an extreme example, the GDP per capita for Botswana, a country which has enjoyed the highest rate of per capita growth out of any country in the world over a 35 year period,〔(''An African Success Story: Botswana'' )〕 is over 30 times greater to that of its neighbour Zimbabwe, whose economy has shrunk every year since 2000.〔(''Bloomberg News'' – "Zimbabwe’s Economy to Expand at Least 4% This Year" ), June 12, 2009〕 Countries recognised by the World Bank as high income economies (HIC)〔(World Bank – Country and Lending Groups )〕 and which have a non-HIC neighbor that is over three times poorer include: South Korea (17.8 times wealthier than North Korea), Oman (11.7 times wealthier than Yemen), Israel (10.8 times wealthier than Palestine, 6.2 times wealthier than Syria, 5.2 times wealthier than Jordan and 4.8 times wealthier than Egypt), Kuwait (10.8 times wealthier than Iraq), Saudi Arabia (10.7 times wealthier than Yemen, 6.3 times wealthier than Iraq and 4.1 times wealthier than Jordan), Equatorial Guinea (8.5 times wealthier than Cameroon), Spain (6.1 times wealthier than Morocco), Hong Kong (5.9 times wealthier than China), Macau (3.9 times wealthier than China), France (3.7 times wealthier than Suriname), Greece (3.4 times wealthier than Albania), Brunei (3.2 times wealthier than Malaysia), United States (3.3 times wealthier than Mexico), Norway (3.2 times wealthier than Russia) and Slovakia (3.2 times wealthier than Ukraine). The Burkina Faso-Benin, Guinea-Mali, Germany-Belgium, Argentina-Chile, Georgia-Armenia, Colombia-Peru, Germany-Denmark, Serbia-Macedonia, Switzerland-Austria, Andorra-France and Latvia-Belarus borders separate pairs of countries with the smallest differences in per capita income (the richer country is less than 5% richer than its neighbor). Due to lack of economic data, the Vatican City (which is surrounded by Italy), Saint Martin (which shares the island of Saint Martin with Sint Maarten) and the British Overseas Territories of Akrotiri and Dhekelia located in the island of Cyprus, are not included in this list. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of bordering countries with greatest relative differences in GDP (PPP) per capita」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
