5 Poorest Countries in the World

3. The Central African Republic

GNI: $1040

Population: 4.9 million

With an area slightly smaller than Texas, housing 4.9 million people, CAR is rated as the worst possible country for the young. Its GNI per capita is presently at $1040 owing mostly to excess mortality rates of its working population brought on by AIDS. Additionally, the country has yet to recover from its political coup of 2013.
