Future Map Puts Korean Economy Ahead of U.S.

The Social and Spatial Inequalities Research Group in the University of Sheffield’s Geography Department and a research team at the University of Michigan have produced a “World Wealth Map 2015”, a collection of maps resizing territories according to their economic power. The map projects Korea as the world’s sixth largest in terms of per-capita GDP in purchasing power parity with US$38,249, surging ahead of the U.S. in seventh with $38,063 and Japan in ninth with $35,694. The two teams took into account data from nine organizations including the World Bank, the CIA and the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in creating the map.
