Description: 7. Namibia Misery index score: 57 Inflation: 5.8% Unemployment: 51.2% Heavily dependent on mineral resources, Namibia exports a lot of diamonds, uranium and gold. However, the mining sector employs only three per cent of the country's labour force. Almost half of Namibia's workers are without jobs. Income inequality is absurd here — even though the country boasts a high GDP per capita, Namibia has the highest GINI coefficient: 70.7 per cent. |
