BEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD


Considering primarily economic power, comforts available and satisfaction of the people we will find the top countries in the world. The following are the rankings of 2021 as reported by US News.

1 Canada - GDP $1.74 trillion
                    Population 37.6 million
                    PPP $46,195

2 Japan -   GDP $5.08 trillion
                   Population 126 million
                   PPP $40,247

3 Germany - GDP $3.86 trillion
                      Population 83.1 mn
                      PPP $56,445

4 Switzerland - GDP $703 billion
                           Population 8.57 m
                           PPP $81,994

5 Australia - GDP $1.40 trillion
                      Population 25.4 mn
                      PPP $55,060

6 USA - $21.4 trillion
              Population 428 million
              PPP $65,298

7 New Zealand - $207 billion 
                              Population 4.92
                              PPP $42,084

8 UK - GDP $2.83 trillion
            Population 66.8 million
            PPP $42,339

9 Sweden - GDP $531 billion
                    Population 10.3 mn
                    PPP $51,615

10 Netherlands - GDP $907 billion
                              Population 17.3m
                              PPP $52,331

India ranked at number 25 for two successive years.  Current PPP is $6,118. While considering many relevant factors one may find this position is apt. However, the ambitious youth may ask as to how much time it may take to find our country among the top 10. The plain answer would be, impossible for the next five decades, at the existing system. However, instead of expecting everything from the government, if the people, especially the youth, come forward to exploit the surplus natural resources and convert into products and then share with the government, we can attain that slot in just one decade; believe it - one decade! Let all the youth get deployed!

India is a large country. We have such amount of idle work force. Get engaged. Produce more and more. Sell all over the world. Tomorrow is certainly ours. Let us not dream it. See it as a reality. Work, work and work! Earn, earn and earn!
