Share of world GDPShare of world population

Palanor calculation from World Bank WDI (CC BY 4.0): GDP in current U.S. dollars (NY.GDP.MKTP.CD) and total population (SP.POP.TOTL, from UN World Population Prospects), each as a share of the World Bank world total. Market exchange rates. Taiwan is not in World Bank data. The 12 largest economies and the four most populous countries outside them, sorted by share of world GDP.

People against output, country by country. Where the GDP bar is longer than the population bar, the country produces more per person than the world average; where it is shorter, less. The United States, Japan and Western Europe produce far more than their share of people; India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Bangladesh far less.
