问题 The three world’s richest industrial countries are ______.
Three of the world’s smallest countries--Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar-have the highest average incomes per person, according to a recent World Bank publication which measures income, out put, and world populations. The small populations of these countries, combined with their tremendous oil wealth, resulted in a per capita income of $15,480 in Kuwait, $13,990 in UAE, and $11,400 in Qatar. By contrast, Bhutan, the tiny kingdom surrounded by India and Tibet, was the world’s poorest country with per capita income of only $ 70.
     The publication also shows that the richest of the industrial countries, Sweden, had an income of $ 8,670 per person, followed by the United States at $ 7,890, and Germany with $ 7,380. Europe remained the world’s richest continent, with only two countries--Albania and Turkey--having per capita incomes of less than $1,000.
   In contrast, most people in Africa and Asia continue to live in poverty, with only a handful of countries in both continents having an income of more than $1,000 per person. Japan was the richest non-oil producing nation in Asia, with an annual income of $ 4,910 per head. This contrasts sharply with Bangladesh’s $110, India’s $150, and China’s $ 410.
