Is indonesia a poor country or rich country?? |
Travel Info Thanks :D Travel Tips Rich in Natural Resource but (not too) poor in Economy, I'd say Indonesia is in the Middle here are the statistics: -Population Living on US$ 1 Dollar 2007: 17% or 39 million -40 people are the region's Richest with Living on US$ 2.3 billion -Population Living on US$ 5 million : 3,500 + -Population classified as Rich Indonesians (living on US$1 million): 6,000 people -Population Living on a deposit of :US$ 20,000 in their Bank Accounts: More than 39 Million (note that this is the statistic of 2005... it could be doubled) the rest of the population is probably living on US$ 1000-5000 Since Indonesia is the largest Country and Economy / Market in its region... I'd say Indonesia has the Most population classified as Rich (yes more than Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand).... but on the other hand also the classified as one of Most Poorest population percentage (17%, (but thats not more than Cambodia (40%) ,Myanmar (25%) ,Laos (30%),Vietnam (19%), Philippines (27%), East Timor (42%) )... so Indonesia is BALANCED Source(s): Statistic of Indonesians classified as poor percentage CIA World Fact Book Statistics of Indonesians classified as Rich http://www.skyscrapercity.com/archive/in... Other Travel Tips Quite poor. 27.1% of the people there are below the poverty line. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/economy_of_... i have spent a fair amount of time in Indonesia... The people are so friendly and yes, by North American standards they are quite poor. However, I amazed that 'they have so little' compared to us, yet they as a group are SO VERY much happier than most in North America... they helped to reaffirm that... stuff does not equal happiness :-) indonesia is actually really rich when it comes to resources. but the political elites are highly corrupted almost half the country live below the poverty line. unfortunately, indonesian is my nationality. |
