In our last chart, we examined the variation in GDP per person (USD) vs. the population growth %. We will look further at a couple of outliers in this data:
- Which country has > $10k GDP per capita and a growth rate > 3% ?
- Which country has approximately 0% growth rate with $1k GDP/person ?
The answers to these two questions can't easily be found directly from the CIAWF data as we're looking at the calculated column (GDP per person) and need to cross-reference with the population growth. However, it is easy to find the answers in BIRT.
We can create a table on the report with Country, GDP/pop (USD) and Pop. Growth (%) columns. Specifying that this table is sorted by GDP / person should make it easy to find the answers.
Extracting data for GDP/person of $40k-$60k, we find:

So, it appears that the country with a high GDP per person and a high population growth rate is the United Arab Emirates. Similarly, looking at GDP / person of ca. $1000, we find that Tokelau has population growth of -0.1%.
