The poorest country in the world is called Burundi, with the lowest per capita GDP in the world, only about 300 US dollars, but this country has a large population, with more than 10 million people. How poor are these more than 10 million people?
First, more than 90% of the country's population does not have access to electricity. If there is electricity, it can be regarded as the elite of the upper class. Not only is there no electricity, but even ** is rare, and more than 10 million people only have 30,000 fixed **.
This is the case with most families in this country, where the father earns money to support the family. The father earns about 100 yuan a month, but even if he is poor, he and his wife still have eight children. This is the typical ordinary family in this country.
In this country, the best job is to deliver bananas by bicycle. If you can do this job, you can basically be regarded as a relatively high-income group here. It is estimated that they can earn about 30 yuan a day, but the price is that they have to pull 500 catties of bananas on a bicycle and ride 100 kilometers to make deliveries. Because they can't afford to buy a bicycle, countless people want to do it but can't do it.
For the first time in the 21st century, bicycles have become so precious in this country that having a bicycle is enough to support a family. Therefore, in order to protect their bikes, people who deliver goods by bicycle do not dare to use the brakes when going downhill. Because the cargo in the back is too heavy, if they pinch the brakes, the bike may burst or even overturn, which is unacceptable to them. They are actually exchanging their lives for money.
Because they are poor, it is quite difficult for the state to collect taxes, so it enters an endless cycle. If you want to say that the country is poor because people are lazy, but they desperately ride bicycles to make deliveries, then why are they poor?It's hard to explain with a single reason.
